A Member's Generous Heart
Thank you to Paula Holtzclaw, Master Signature Member of American Women Artists, who donated a portion of the sales of her paintings from "A Celebration of American Women Artists" at Providence Gallery in Charlotte, NC. The show featured the works of four AWA members that, in addition to Paula, included Isabel Forbes, Anne Harkness, and Ann Watcher.
The idea for the show was to celebrate women artists and spread the word about AWA. Leading up to the show's opening Paula, along with the gallery, placed advertisements in magazines and mentioned that a portion of the sales would be donated to American Women Artists. In addition to ads, Paula also utilized social media to inform the public about the show and the donation to AWA.
Paula was excited to share information about the organization with guests, collectors, and fellow artists at the show opening. "It was a great opportunity to talk to people about this wonderful organization in a casual setting. Everyone was very excited to learn about AWA," explained Paula.
