Pat Cross Art at the PACE Foundation Speakeasy Auction

Saturday, March 8, 2025 from 6 PM - 10 PM at the Social Event Space

In this roaring 20s fundraiser to benefit the PACE Foundation, guests dress in a 1920s style and enjoy a swinging evening of dinner, drinks, dancing, music, games, and auction items.

Among the auction items are artworks by local artists providing originals and fine art prints. Proceeds support the PACE Creativity in the Classroom grants, annual Charly Jupiter Hamilton scholarship and public art initiatives. 

“I look forward to this event each year,” says Pat Cross, “as a way to support art teachers in my county.” Pat Cross attributes her success as a professional artist to the teachers who invested in her from a very early age. “Though anyone can learn to paint and draw on their own,” says Pat Cross, “a skilled teacher can bring out the best in the student, often saving the student years of much trial and error in the process.”

The PACE Foundation mission reads: “The Putnam Area Community Enrichment Foundation is committed to the prosperity of Putnam County and its surrounding areas. We strive to enhance the quality of life for our residents and foster thriving communities.” That’s a mission worth supporting. The proceeds of the event tickets also benefit the PACE Foundation, but tickets sell out quickly. So, you may wish to get your tickets right away at the PACE website.
