Comments from our Community:
I just wanted to say BRAVO to you and Alex and team for a great job on Saturday night. You kept us engaged and it was such fun. The entire evening was orchestrated beautifully, and the graphics and tech work were really impressive. I can’t even imagine the hours of work that went into making PE such a success. I remember when we were excited about the $20,000+ we raised. To have raised $66,000+ is amazing!!!! I hope you celebrated with the outstanding GARD wines.

Paint Ellensburg was awesome! You guys did such a great job. What a true example of making lemonade out of lemons. I’m very glad people were bidding and supporting the Gallery. Really great job, it was super fun to watch. Especially the “economic indicators”!
– Molly Jones, EDA Director
Monica and Crew,

You guys did a great job pivoting to this format. I am sure it was a ton of work!

Such a great job you and everyone else did to make Pt Eburg a great success! It was a delight to be a part of this event from far away.
You and your team are the perfect ones at this very odd time to carry on the mission of Gallery One. I bow to you and say thank you.
