Alchemy's Artist Showcase June 8th

Mark your calendars and prepare to embark on a captivating journey through creativity and inspiration! On June 8th, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta will be transformed into a vibrant hub of artistic expression as it hosts an enchanting Artist Showcase event. This remarkable gathering promises to be a feast for the senses, offering attendees a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of beauty and imagination.

During the event we will have tiered door swag available for purchase, two raffles: a $1 surprise box and a $5 artist box, and a silent auction with 6 to 10 items available. One of the pieces available at auction is a piece of our 2022 temple, there is a piece of bark at the top that's a recreation of the stick that was written on the 2022 temple. The two pieces of a broken heart were in each of the figures when they were built and burned with the temple. The images in the background are printouts from the original art submission that was sent to us in 2020. The shadow box shows the one heart shared, broken with the loss of a friend.
