Art for Democracy

Whitfield Democrats continues our Art for Democracy fundraiser for 2024. We have teamed up with two talented artists and for every donation we will put your name in a drawing for one of two beautiful pieces of art. Each $5 donation gets one chance. Each $25 donation gets six chances. You can make a choice which drawing you would like to enter when you make your donation. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go to our efforts to educate voters and elect democrats in our district. Drawing will be May 16th at our Blue Thursday event.

Saturday Morning by Mary Ann Inman (18" L X 14" W acrylic on canvas) - Mary Ann Inman is a retired nurse who has lived in Virginia all of her life. Her paintings are colorful, country, spiritual, folky, and done at her own pace. She also creates fabric wall hangings, which she describes as free-form interpretations of Native American motifs.

The Cove by Paul Fontana (24" L X 12" W acrylic on canvas) - Before beginning what would become a 30-plus year career as a middle grades teacher, Fontana spent some interesting time in the U.S. Navy, touring the Mediterranean Sea from Palma de Majorca, Spain to Istanbul, Turkey. Fontana, who lives in north Georgia, retired from teaching in 2000. He also enjoys a life-long interest in photography. Painting only for about 18 years, Fontana has already won some minor and major awards at art shows.
