- 09/04/26
Vancouver, Wash. – Original artwork returns to Vancouver Community Library this fall as the Friends of Vancouver Community Library present the ninth annual Art4Art, a fundraiser featuring one-of-a-kind works created by local artists of all ages and skill levels. The event takes place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2, at Vancouver Community Library, 901 C Street.
“Art4Art makes original art accessible to everyone while celebrating creativity and connection through the library,” said Jennifer Giltrop, Executive Director of the Fort Vancouver Regional Library District. “We are deeply grateful to the Friends volunteers, whose year-round dedication and generosity strengthen our libraries in so many ways. Their fundraising makes it possible for the District to expand access, try new ideas, and respond to the evolving needs of the people we serve.”
Local artists are invited to participate by creating an original work on an 8-by-8-inch wood panel. Panels are free and available for pickup at the fifth-floor service desk inside Vancouver Community Library. Completed artwork must be returned by Tuesday, Sept. 15.
At Art4Art, the Friends will sell the completed panels for $30 each, with proceeds supporting art programs and projects at the library. Every piece is sold at the same price, regardless of the artist’s experience or notoriety, making it possible for everyone to take home an original work of art while supporting their local library.
Last year, Art4Art proceeds helped support the library’s Community Reads program.
Thank you to Burgener’s Woodworking, Inc. for donating the wood panels.
