Westfield Art Association

April 1, 2024 to May 12, 2024 – Annual Scholarship Sale

Each year the Westfield Art Association artists donate works of art for sale: proceeds from the sale fund a scholarship that we give to a graduating Westfield High School senior who intends to pursue art in college. The recipient is selected by the art director of Westfield High School.

It makes a wonderful Mother’s Day gift! All pieces are for sale at $60. If you are interested in buying a piece, let us know by emailing us at westfieldartassiociation@gmail.com. You can pay via Paypal or once the pieces are at South Avenue Arts, you are welcome to stop in and pay via cash or check. If paying through Paypal, please log into your accoung, and send $60 to westfieldartassociation@gmail.com, in the ‘note’ are indicate which artwork by which artist you would like to purchase. We will get your piece to you as soon as possible.

The pieces will also be on display in person at South Avenue Arts, located at 221 South Avenue in Garwood, starting on April 15, 2024. They will be ready to be picked up or delivered starting on May 6th, right on time for Mother’s day.

If you are an artist and would like to donate a 5 by 7 work of art, we will continue to accept them, and will happily add them to the fundraiser.

Thank you for helping us raise funds for the scholarship!

Please join us for an art show for Westfield Art Association members at the Center For Creativity (Rialto). The artwork will be displayed in the windows for the month of January.

While you are welcome to interpret the theme as you like, please note that in order to make sure that we have a wide diversity of images that reflect the life in the beautiful town of Westfield, we will be accepting a very limited amount of images representing Mindowaskin park. We know that our members are extraordinary creative artists, and cannot wait to see all the fantastic interpretations of the theme!
