Mother's Day Art Sale

Well, I had a lot of fun. Seven artists were featured in this show and despite this being the season where all our scientists go in to the field and students have left we had a pretty nice turnout. I especially liked the networking going on between artists. I think everyone sold a bit and more importantly got to take all but 10% of it home instead of paying fees! The 10% went to the RSMAS library and to FINCA - a group that provides small loans to families (mostly women) in developing countries so they can start a small business and lift themselves out of poverty. Thought it was quite appropriate!
