Very quickly the Fredericksburg REALTORS Foundation Art Show will be here. The art show is scheduled for May 12^th, 2012 10:00-4:00 at the EXPO Center. As a Governor for the Foundation, I can share with you that quite a bit of time and energy has been volunteered to make this a success. But we are not finished yet!

To give a little background on the event, we must first thank the EXPO Center for allowing us the use of their facilities. Without them, this would not have happened! A huge thank you in advance! Secondly, we have to thank all the area students who have agreed to donate pieces of their art work so that we can sell them and keep the proceeds. Of course our Corporate Sponsors thank you – thank you – thank you!

This is the first year our Foundation has ever attempted something of this size and magnitude. While it is exciting, we are still very nervous about the event and we are hoping that our fellow friends, neighbors and associates will come to the event, and of course support the Foundation by purchasing the art work and help making the event a success.

We must highlight our schools and sponsors. The area High Schools that are participating: Within the City of Fredericksburg – Fredericksburg Christian, James Monroe. Stafford High Schools – Brooke Point, Mountain View, Stafford. Spotsylvania High Schools – Courtland, Massaponax, Riverbend. From King George – King George High School.

Art Show Sponsors, we are very grateful for your support.

The Fredericksburg REALTORS® Foundation is hosting a Regional High School Art Show to raise money to benefit area housing-related charities. Art work produced by local students will be on display and available for purchase. Many area high schools are participating in the event including those from Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George, and the City of Fredericksburg. The art work will be professionally judged and students are eligible to win up to $1,000 in cash prizes!

The Art Show is being held at the Fredericksburg Expo Center on Saturday May 12, 2012 from 10:00am to 4:00pm. The art work being displayed includes many different mediums such as photography, sculpture, paint, watercolors, and more. Proceeds from Art Show will benefit local housing-related charities through grants made by the Fredericksburg REALTORS® Foundation.

Since its inception in 1990, the Foundation has been granting thousands of dollars each year to area charities to help those in need secure and retain quality, affordable housing. Visit www.FAARfoundationartshow.com for more information.
