SPONSORS NEEDED - Each year the Amador County Artists Association (ACAA) hosts a studio tour to showcase the richness and variety of artistic talent in Amador County. Another goal of the tour is to raise money for scholarships, the student art show and other art related projects. Because the tour is free to the public, ACAA generates funds through artist fees and a raffle of works submitted by participating artists. To defray printing and other costs, the ACAA is looking for business or organization to help sponsor the event. Anyone interested in doing so or obtaining additional information is invited to contact Fundraising Chair Janet Piccola at 209-304-6795 or PiccolaPottery@att.net.
