The Doors of Rockford Art Show and Auction
On Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 6:00 p.m., ZION Development will hold the tenth annual Doors of Rockford Art Show and Auction at Katie’s Cup. This annual fundraising event offers a wonderful evening of art and entertainment featuring an exciting collection of original artwork created by 18 area artists. Each work — a painting, watercolor, sketch or other two-dimensional representation - depicts a real or metaphorical door found in the Rockford area. This year’s theme is “Neighborhood of Promise”. The Doors of Rockford challenges area artists to make interesting visual statements about opportunities that doors present in our lives.
This is a great opportunity to help support both our talented local artists and ZION Development.
Thank you for your consideration. We encourage you to attend the Doors of Rockford Art Show and Auction and to publicize it to your friends and colleagues. Advance tickets are available at Katie's Cup for $20 or $25 at the door the evening of the event.
Place: Katie's Cup, 502 Seventh Street, Rockford, IL 61104
