/ A tiny sample of the paintings, drawings, sculptures and other artistic creations up for bid at Artopia.
The pandemic forced last year s Artopia to benefit Big Bend Cares online. But this year s fundraiser filled the Donald L. Tucker exhibit hall with artwork and art buyers. Stan Kahn II is Big Bend Cares board president. Being able to see the pieces in person really makes a difference in your connection with that piece. We made it work online last year, but this year back in person really gives us that opportunity to connect with those pieces and hopefully take quite a few home with them, he said, adding it was gratifying to see how the event had grown almost exponentially in the 10-years he s been on the organization s board.
