The Brownwood Art Association held a preview Thursday of pieces to be featured in their 8th Annual Chili Luncheon and Art Sale which will take place on Friday, December 7th.  The lunch and sale will be open from 11:30am-1:00 p.m. and will take place at the Art Center located at 215 Fisk in downtown Brownwood.

The Art Center will be opened for early preview of original paintings by BAA members on Thursday from 11:30-1:30 p.m. and will continue during the “First Thursday” event from 5:00-8:00 p.m. All sales will take place on Friday, December 7th.

Tickets for the luncheon are $5.00 each which includes delicious homemade chili with fixings, cornbread, dessert and a drink. To-go orders will also be available.  The proceeds of the lunch benefit the Brownwood Art Association’s Art Center renovation.

This is a great opportunity to purchase original framed paintings, digital art or photographs for someone on your Christmas list or to add to your own collection. The 88 miniature pieces were created and donated by 17 artists involved in the Brownwood Art Association.  Originals 5 x 7” will sell for $25 and 8 x 10” for $45. There is also be a special selection of over 60 Ima Gem Queen paintings available for purchase.

Tickets are available from BAA members, at the door on preview day or the day of the event. Contact Melanie Naylor at 647-8543 for additional information.
