Youth group uses art gala to raise money
The teens at the Prince Albert Alliance Church Youth Group are working hard to raise money to build a well in Niger, located in Africa.
One of the most recent fundraisers is an art gala at the Mann Art Gallery, which ran Monday and Tuesday night, offering paintings by local young artists in a silent auction.
“More than 50 percent of the paintings are from local youth,” said Mason Neufeld, who helmed the planning of this event. “Some of them are from adults that also wanted to donate, so the only restriction is all local artists.”
Neufeld said the opening bids started at $20 for the silent auction. The bid winners will be announced during the week.
