If the turn out for the “Meet the Artist” event last night was any indictor, tonight’s Gala Auction should be a rip-roaring success! Proceeds benefit the Pacific Art League and the Woman’s Club of Palo Alto so bid high and often! It’s not too late to get tickets at the door -475 Homer Ave, 6-9 pm! I’ve linked artist’s websites to their names where applicable.
