Toledo Loves Gloves
Launch Pad Cooperative is pleased to present their 2nd Annual fundraiser exhibition “8x8” to be hosted as a one-night-only event, Saturday December 14th 2013 from 6-9pm. Visitors to this event will have the opportunity to purchase 8” x 8” works of art in a variety of media. All work has been donated by local and national artists as well as creatives from all ages and skill levels.
All artwork at the event will be sold for a price of $20.00 per piece with funds raised going towards gallery operating costs, as well as current programming that includes our Featured Lines reading series, monthly film night, and video festival. Guests will be able to purchase a red dot to put next to the artwork they wish to purchase and take it off the wall at the close of the event. Hosts of the event will collect contact and identifying information for purchases to guarantee guests go home with their selected works of art.
