$65 for 65 Years
TOAF has always been the place where art-loving becomes art-collecting — joyful, welcoming, and full of discovery. For our 65th birthday, we want to multiply the joy of collecting art by giving every TOAF65 artist a $65 Gift Card to collect art at the Fair. A simple birthday present that circles right back to the artists who create the magic.
