Artistic Studio 30 to Host Holiday Toy Drive

The gallery will be accepting donations to the Toys for Tots program this weekend.

On Sunday, Artistic Studio 30 will open their doors to the public at 1 p.m. to accept donations of toys which will be donated to the Toys for Tots program.

Bring an unwrapped, new toy to Artistic Studio 30 and be entered in a raffle to take home a piece of art from the studio. The toy should be appropriate for children aged 0-12. 

Items up for grabs in the raffle include: 

  • Painting by Kat
  • Photography by Jason Dowd
  • Wearable jewelry art by Vanessa Orpheus

Originating in 1947, Toys for Tots was started by a U.S. Marine by the name of Colonel William L. Hendricks. The program seeks to provide a new toy to underprivileged youth on Christmas, in hopes of a brighter future. Drives for the program take place all over the United States.
