Alchemy Art Center is celebrating their fifth year as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit with a Fall Fundraiser Gala, and you are invited! On Nov. 4, at 5 p.m. at the Brickworks, Alchemy will host a delicious gourmet dinner provided by a team of local farmers and chefs with live music, and multiple exciting auctions featuring prizes like sumptuous a spa experience at an island B’n’B, a mystical Tarot and Tapas party for a group of 6 friends, a scenic airplane ride, and a sailing adventure on the high seas! Plus so much more. A highlight of this event is the always amazing cake auction, which raises the entirety of Alchemy’s tuition assistance fund each year!

Alchemy relies on donations for fully one-third of their annual operating budget, and proceeds from the fall fundraiser are an essential source of this income. Alchemy’s mission of providing arts access for all includes a free youth mentorship program, numerous free community art activities, tuition assistance options for all adults and kids classes, affordable studio membership, donation-based music events, partnerships with the Family Resource Center, Island Rec, and Compass Health, and so much more. You can help support community arts on San Juan Island by attending the fundraiser (tickets are available at www.alchemyartcenter.com), and by helping spread the word. Can’t attend but still want to support Alchemy? Donations can be made at https://alchemyartcenter.com/donate.

Alchemy Art Center, founded by Maria Michaelson and Eben Shay in 2017, is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to creating a thriving arts community on San Juan Island.
