The Roycroft Campus is respectfully requesting donated works of art for its upcoming Art Lottery fundraiser. Participating artists and donors will help support the Roycroft Campus, a National Historic Landmark and the birthplace of the American Arts & Crafts Movement. The organization works to preserve and restore the historic Roycroft Campus, provides unique cultural tourism experiences, and conducts art classes, lectures, and other programming. In 2022, the Jerry & Barbara Castiglia Art Center opened on the Campus, which provides open studio space for artists – we encourage artists to visit our website or call to learn more about this exciting new community resource.
The 2023 Art Lottery event will be held on Thursday, February 9th in the historic Roycroft Print Shop. Tickets will be sold for $250 and include admission for two guests, one “lottery” ticket for a piece of art valued at or above the ticket price and a signed print from the event’s featured artist, Michele Conley Vogel. When guests arrive, they will be given a number and ample time to view all of the available artworks. When the lottery begins, numbers are picked at random and each ticket holder will pick a piece of art valued at $250 or higher.
