Art and Photography Sale
From zen-inducing flow paintings to sweeping, peaceful landscapes and photos of people and places, each of Cathi’s artworks tells a story and evokes memories of places around the world where she has visited. To celebrate the fall season, Cathi has replenished her large collection of artwork for sale at the Peace Pavilion, offering selected framed artwork for 40% off, and at reduced prices for unframed work.
You can view and select YOUR favorite from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Tuesday – Wednesday by appointment, and Thursday – Saturday on a walk-in basis at 607 W. Lexington, Independence, MO. All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Peace Pavilion.
