Thank you to everyone who helped make our 4th annual Garden Party and Art Auction a grand success!
  • The Hotel Winneshiek's outstanding staff and generous management team...
  • Tom Bourcier and his jazz ensemble (with support from sound man Marty Grimm)...
  • Anja and Jeff Brown of The Perfect Edge...
  • Joe Gavle for his professional auctioneering...
  • Our corps of volunteers (Barb Gavle, Mark and Vicki Donhowe, Mark Faldet, Alyssa Ritter, Nikki Shepherd, Kat Bay, Emily Temte, and our lovely friends that helped make paper flowers for the event)...
  • Over 40 student and professional artists who donated their valuable creations and left us all in awe of their talent and generosity...
  • The Driftless Art Collective whose support of ArtHaus means all donations are tax-deductible...
  • And YOU: about 240 friends of ArtHaus who collectively raised over $13,000 to sustain ArtHaus and the Youth Scholarship Fund in the coming year.

By supporting the arts, you are supporting the quality of life in our community.

Thank you.
Kristen and Lea
