14 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER December 2019 Arts Association Another new in-kind sponsor was SPB, Salem Printing & Blue Prints, from their store in Canby. If you no- ticed our new banner at the entrance to Charbonneau, it was donated by SBP. The new banner is very high qual- ity and we will be able to use it for sev- eral years, giving our festival design both stronger impact and longevity. ■ From Page 12 Artisan Fair, to clean up, Len had it handled. I would be remiss not to include our wonderful featured artist for special recognition. Elaine Luneke created a beautiful exhibit of her watercolors, 24 in all, discussed her techniques and classes passionately, and displayed her ability to create unique jewelry as well. Bottom line? City of Wilsonville grant upgrades gallery Cathi McLain, left, and Leslie Leeper at the art show. Thanks to an Opportunity Grant from the City of Wilsonville we were able to purchase new, professional art display panels for our Fireside Room Gallery, which was thereby transformed into a downtown-style venue. With gallery lighting included, this upgrade did more than just help artists show their work to better advantage, it also transformed two other areas of the festival. Our traditional, rented display panels were freed up to move into the Student Gallery space in the CCC lounge as well as to display art in the silent auction be- ing held in the Card Room. Both sections were measurably improved in style and impact as a result of this opportunity.

Hubbard Cleaners donated dry cleaning services for the covers of the display panels we have traditional- ly used, and so they looked quite fresh in the student gallery and silent auc- tion and set off the art wonderfully. CHARBONNEAU VI LL AG ER VOL. 42, NO. 2 Q FEBRUARY Q CHARBONNEA U, OREGON 2019 Because everyone knows that the Charbonneau Arts Festival is a fund- raising event that supports art educa- tion in Wilsonville and Canby high schools, the big question always is, “What is the bottom line?” We won’t know exactly until later in November as we sort through the revenue and expenses. Last year, we donated $8,000 to these programs and we hope to do that or better this year. I will be able to announce the amount of the awards in next month’s issue, so, as they say, watch this space. In January, we will be holding an award reception which is open to all Charbonneau residents as well as the public. I hope to see you there. PRSRT. STD.
