MINI-WAKAN ART PROJECT
The ART Committee was formed with three
potential benefits:
1. Increasing public awareness of the Mini-Wakan
Shelter House Project and the Endowment Fund for both it and the
Gull Point Lodge.
2. Securing additional funds for the Project (including
the Endowment).
3. Providing a forum to showcase the works of many
artists, each of whom has a special love for the Iowa Great
Lakes
area.
The ART Committee has acquired a number of original paintings of
both the Mini-Wakan Shelter House, as well as the Gull Point
Lodge, created by both local and nationally known artists. The
donation of other original works of art, depicting sites
throughout the Iowa Great Lakes, are currently being created.
Also donations of several prints of existing pieces of art have
been given for this project.
Additionally, a small number of LIMITED PRINTS, greeting cards,
and post cards have been printed and will soon be available in
area stores throughout the Iowa Great Lakes area. A lovely
display of all of the donated art work is located in the north
window of Evan’s Clothing Store in Olde Town Spirit Lake.
The original works of art will be sold at a live auction and the
various other donations of art work will also be sold in a
silent auction which will take place at Gull Point Lodge, on
Sunday, Aug. 29th. “Works of Arts for the State Parks …. An
Endeavor for the Endowment” is the name of that event, and it is
the final fundraiser for the project of this summer.
The ART Committee members are actively seeking additional art.
If you are an artist and you wish to donate a piece of art work
for this fundraising effort, please contact Jane Ford
712-226-4333.
