​Women’s Fund Hosts A.R.T.S. Night  
A Reason to Shop, Share & Socialize to Support Local Women & Children
 
(Stevens Point, Wis.) – The Women’s Fund of Portage County is hosting its annual fundraiser, A.R.T.S. Night (a reason to shop, share and socialize), on Thursday, October 26, from 5 – 8:30 pm at the Holiday Inn & Convention Center in Stevens Point. The night features a variety of art for sale, silent auction, light buffet, live music and a cash bar.  Special feature this year is a display by the Star Point Quilters Guild.  Music will be provided by Courtney Cordova and the Aspiring Acapella group.
 
The A.R.T.S. Night raffle includes a Grand Prize of $2,500 toward a jewelry piece designed by Thomas Dailing Designs of Lee Ayers Jewelers. Other raffle prizes include 18 holes and a cart for a foursome at Sand Valley Golf Course and a $400 Proshop gift card, a 50 inch color TV and a $250 MasterCard gift card.  Raffle tickets are being sold by Women’s Fund board members (1 for $10 or 3 for $25).
 
This year Thomas Dailing is the featured artist. A long time supporter of Women’s Fund and other local organizations, he has made a difference in the lives of local women and children. Thomas is an internationally recognized jewelry designer. Although he makes a steady stream of jewelry for collectors across the country, this casually dressed, enthusiastic designer loves to sit down with local customers to create meaningful pieces for special occasions.
 
In addition to Thomas Dailing, there will be over 20 unique artists and four Cottage Gallery vendors participating in the 2017 A.R.T.S. Night. The artists’ work includes many different mediums such as wood, silverware, pottery, blown glass, paintings, weavings and jewelry.  The Cottage Gallery has offerings of fresh and frozen homemade pies, chocolates, truffles & confections, natural soaps, lotions, lip balms, body butters and artisan breads. All artists generously donate 25% of their sales from A.R.T.S. Night to the Women’s Fund. In its fifteenth year, A.R.T.S. Night generates charitable funds for grants given annually by the Women's Fund to community groups providing services to local women and children throughout Portage County.

Support from sponsors also helps offset costs so that 100% of the event proceeds go directly to grants. Thank you to our 2017 A.R.T.S Night sponsors: Exclusive Sponsor - Mark Toyota, Elite Sponsors - BMO Harris Bank, and Delta Dental of Wisconsin, Premier Sponsors - Regnier Consulting Group, Furniture & ApplianceMart and Heart’s Desire.
