We cannot thank our artist friends enough for so generously donating such beautiful art to raise money for the Rockport Center for the Arts. The fundraiser was more successful than we could have imagined! It was very exciting here in Austin as we uploaded images and had them sell almost immediately! We enjoyed unpacking all the art and got to see it all hung together. The response from our patrons was equally exciting. We had almost everything sell well before the end of the sale. We made more than our goal of $10,000 for RCA. We only hope that they are able to get back in business there soon and that our beautiful coastal communities recover and thrive once again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

On August 25th, Hurricane Harvey made landfall right over the small coastal town of Rockport. There is a thriving art community and the center for many activities was hit hard by the storm. The Rockport Center for the Arts suffered severe roof damage and rain and wind destroyed much of the interior and porch.
Plein Air Austin has organized a fundraiser to help our coastal neighbors get back to business as they need space for upcoming classes and shows.
Our artists have generously donated their artwork - 100 pieces - to sell for $100 each! 100% of your purchase price goes directly to the Rockport Center for the Arts.
