a bargain when you think about it

If you're balking at the price of admission ($50 or $80 per couple) to the Great Spokane Art Party, consider not only that you'll be supporting a great cause (childcare workers provide a critically important service and they are, typically, horribly underpaid); but also consider that for this small chunk of change you'll get an evening of hobnobbing with some of the great artists in the region, getting messy and having fun playing with all sorts of media, while fueling your creative fires with fine wine and an array of gourmet hors d'oeuvres.
