(Cushing, Okla.) Friends and art patrons are encouraged to participate in the Purchase Award program again this year. Rob Smith, Director of Lachenmeyer Arts Center and artist coordinator for Festival in the Park wrote:
“The Purchase Award program is a commitment to buy art prior to Festival in the Park. This progam allows us to bring quality artists to Cushing. Simply send us a check for the amount you wish to spend at the Festival. Art Purchase Awards are sold in amounts of $25, $50, and $100 or more. On the day of the Festival, you may pick up your purchase award coupons at the Lachenmeyer Arts Center table. Coupons are spent like cash.”
This year, Drumright Dental Center and the Cushing Arts & Humanities Council has each donated $250 and Spirit Bank has donated $100 for a total of $600 in purchase awards to be given away at the Festival. To be eligible to win, you must buy a purchase award. Your name will be entered into the drawing once for every $25 you buy in purchase awards for a chance to win $200 in purchase awards. Three drawings ($200 each) will be held during the Festival.
“The Purchase Award program allows us to attract artist who don’t usually participate in art shows in smaller communities such as Cushing,” Smith said. “Please consider participating!”
