For a third year we asked our community to help us Enlighten the Arts by lending their talents to plain lampshades and you all came through with flying colors! Lampshades were decorated by local artists of all ages and skill level, and you can have your very own piece of "enlightened art."

Lampshades are available for viewing and bidding at the Federal Building (enter through door in alley off the 1400 block of Cornwall Ave) in Downtown Bellingham. Opening Reception during the Downtown Art Walk, Friday, April 5th, 6pm to 9pm. Auction closes at 5pm, April 20th during RARE.

All proceeds benefit the Allied Arts Education Project.
