The League of Women Voters of Geauga County is a non-profit, all volunteer organization. What will the funds be spent on?

We are a registered 501(c)(3) that relies almost entirely on donations to operate. The funds raised at the Democracy by Design Art Sale will be used to further the mission of the League of Women Voters of Geauga to Empower Voters and Defend Democracy. More specifically, we intend to use funds raised to expand our educational offerings and community programming about voting and other important topics pertinent to our democracy. In addition, we intend to invest in our League operations to make them more up-to-date and efficient.

What kind of event is this? Should I dress up?

Come as you are! We want this event to be people and family friendly so just think of the attire as informal and comfortable.

I want to support both the artists and LWVG. Do the artists make money from this sale?

The artists who have submitted their works to our art sale had the option to receive anywhere from 0 - 50% of the sales price of their works if sold. We are eternally grateful to them for their generosity.

I love what you do. Can I become a member of LWVG?

Of course! We would love to welcome you as a member. And don’t let our name fool you. Our League welcomes all, and male members now make up over 10% of our membership. Please visit our website at Home - League of Women Voters of Geauga to learn more about our activities and how to join us.

Should I buy a ticket ahead of time to attend the Democracy by Design Art Sale?

Yes, we encourage everybody to please purchase tickets in advance via the Eventbrite link on our website before the event. It will help us greatly in our planning. However, we will accept ticket purchases at the door, as well.

What kinds of art will be available?

The sale includes a range of mediums—paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, and more—from local artists. All works are original works, though some artists may offer limited-edition prints as well.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept cash and credit/debit cards. 

Will there be food and drinks?

Yes, refreshments and light bites will be available. We will also have a food truck onsite from 5pm - 7pm.

Can I take the artwork home the same day?

Yes, in most cases. Larger pieces may require special arrangements for delivery.
