RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) – Here’s your opportunity to help us bring art supplies to the kids in Rancho Cordova schools. Collect original 6” x 6” artworks for yourself and to give as special gifts for the special people in your life.  With the proceeds from last year’s auction we were able to provide over $4,000 of art supplies to teachers in Rancho Cordova schools. Thirty-two teachers from eight schools responded with their wish lists and this year"'with your help"'we hope to double that!  All art is made and donated by local artists. This is the third year for the Micro-Masterpieces and there are over 250 items being auctioned.

Bidding opens at 8 AM on Wednesday, June 1, and closes at 8 PM, Sunday, June 5.  Go to www.32Actions.com/mmrca22 to bid.  You may view the original art at the Mills Station Arts & Culture Center, during gallery hours from June 2-4, 2022: Thursday and Friday 3-8 PM and Saturday 11 AM-4PM.  Bidding starts at $20 for each artwork, with $3 increments for the bidding. City of Rancho Cordova sales tax (8.75%) is included in the price. You may pick up the items you win during the following week at the MACC.

Be sure to check out the Micro-Masterpieces that have not been sold during the auction. They’ll be available to view and purchase in person at the MACC from 3-7 PM, Thursday, June 9; 3-7PM, Friday, June 10; and 11 AM-3 PM, Saturday, June 11; or during the MACC’s regular gallery hours.
