"Leave Your Mark is our inspiration for this year's Auction and the 50th Anniversary of Friendship Community," said Claudia Palacio, Gallery Manager, and Networking Ambassador. "We each leave our mark in every aspect of this Organization. We make choices and take actions that will leave a positive lasting impression. The last two years taught us to expect change and adapt. Each piece of art that has been chosen, represents some type of mark left behind. Look at each piece and see what the "Leaving the Mark" represents to you!"
We will be featuring each and every Heart Artists who choose to participate in this online event.
