Today is the Azalea Festival of Arts. Dom had her fundraiser in it and had a booth set up with over 26 pieces of art made by the intermediate and advanced arts students and the Brookings Harbor High School. She actually should of have about 60 pieces but it sounds like quite a few students didn't take it seriously and didn't make anything.
All the money made at this fundraiser goes to the port to help pay for damages caused by the recent tsunami. This is part of her Sr. Project for school. Originally she wanted to do something like this for the school but decided it would be better for the port.
It started out cloudy and grey but no rain, so her and her helpers hung most of the art work from the canopy and placed a few on tables. About an hour or so into it, it started to rain and the art work started getting wet! They quickly rushed to take down all the pictures so not to let them get ruined. There was an empty canopy next to us so they began hanging some up along the edges of THAT canopy, but as it kept raining it just dripped all over and continued to get the art work wet so once again they all rushed to take them down, leaving only a few hanging that were totally covered and would not get wet.
I could only stay for a short while, I think I was there a few hours. But with 2 young children and a baby I knew it wouldn't last long. So about 1pm I had to pack up my kids and go, leaving her there with her helpers to tend to everything. I pretty much let her do everything anyway and didn't get involved much except to lend a few ideas...which they actually liked and used! After I left the sun came out and the clouds went away.
Below is some of the art that was there. A LOT of it was really good!!
This one directly below is the art that Dominique did. These were taken with my phone so they aren't the best quality pictures but you can get the idea. I wish I was able to get all the art work, but this is what I got.
Dom and her "crew" a few more showed up later
