On April 27, 2017, Pecatonica families came out in full force to support the elementary school Book Fair and Art Show (in addition to the 5th Grade Wax Museum down at the middle school). This was the first year we hired the company Artome for our art show and WOW! I am impressed!
For the past few months, students have been planning for their art show masterpieces, which were created and attached to Artome's provided special paper. We labeled each piece and shipped them off in early April. On the afternoon of April 27, Artome representatives arrived with each individual student's artwork framed and ready to hang! They set up and organized display racks in the cafeteria while I pretty much stayed out of their way! It was fabulous!
Families started rolling in about 20 minutes to 5 and we were steady throughout the evening until 7pm. We sold over 100 frames! Each frame sold gave a kickback of $6 to the Dragonfly Studio to purchase more art supplies! Families also enjoyed Mrs. Bell's delicious sugar cookies, which she gave from the goodness of her heart and our rainbow-backdrop photo booth was very popular!
Overall, it was a fabulous evening and I look forward to working with Artome again for our next show!
