ART STRINGS FUNDRAISER

ART STRINGS 2011–12 PAINTED VIOLIN RAFFLE

Art Strings combines the visual and performing arts to raise funds for the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra's extensive music education and community engagement programs. Ten local artists were commissioned to create individual works of art using violins as their canvas, drawing inspiration from a musical program or work the NJSO will present in its 2011–12 season. Devoted NJSO Ambassadors generously donate their time to display the violins and sell raffle tickets for a chance to win one of these works of art. These transformed violins will be displayed at NJSO concerts and selected art galleries throughout New Jersey during the 2011–12 season.

Over the past decade, this wonderful project has featured more than 100 violins, each and every one created by a different local artist, and has raised more than $100,000!
