A Sense of Place, a Benefit Exhibition for Louison House, June 2022

Bill Riley, Owner of Real Eyes Gallery, and artists Diane R Sawyer, Debi Pendell, Sarah Sutro, and Betty Vera at the Opening of A Sense of Place June 4th.

Our exhibition, A Sense of Place, was structured as benefit for Louison House. The show got a great deal of attention during the month of June. On the date of our closing, June 30th, we had over $8,450. in sales, half of which goes to Louison House.

It’s not too late! You can still support Louison House, a non-profit organization which has made such a difference in the Northern Berkshires through their work to combat homelessness and housing insecurity.

Even though our exhibition is no longer on view, our artwork is still available for purchase through July 31st at: www.realeyesgallery.com/shop/asenseofplace/11 
We have raised a substantial amount of money for Louison House so far, but are still working to raise as close as we can to our goal of $10,000.

Would you prefer to see the work in person before making a purchase?
