Local Art Lift at Breakfast for the Arts

This year (2025), we’re thrilled to offer you an opportunity to own a piece of this artistic legacy while supporting local artists.

We are featuring three remarkable local artists—Kat Cornelius, Andrea Cunningham, and Janet Borchardt—each crafting 30 unique artworks to serve as captivating centerpieces for over 80 tables.

As a special guest, you can be among the first to claim one of these original, one-of-a-kind creations. Priced at just $100 each, or bundled at $275 for a trio, these pieces will be unveiled as a delightful mystery at the event, adding an element of surprise to your acquisition.

Let’s support local artists together while getting a one-of-a-kind artwork to take home!

You can purchase the remaining one-of-a-kind artworks now in our gift shop—stop by and take home your favorite while they last!
