Coffee and Tea, Cups and Dessert: A Giertz Gallery Benefit

Come join us in the gallery lounge for an evening of fun and the opportunity to support the Giertz Gallery at Parkland College.

Each ticket includes selecting a beautiful handmade cup thrown by our very own students and faculty in our Ceramics classes.

While you’re there, enjoy a large selection of desserts baked fresh by the Parkland Hospitality program. Columbia Street Roastery will provide hot tea and freshly brewed coffee. Our event will also feature traditional Irish music by Fair Play featuring Lisa Boucher.

View many of the Silent Auction works online by visiting the Giertz Gallery Facebook Album or our website. Guests are able to place bids on various artworks and the bidding will end at 6:30pm.

Tickets to the gallery benefit are $30 or two for $50, with advanced purchase recommended; cups will be chosen on a first come, first serve basis. To purchase tickets, please contact the Giertz Gallery office at 217/351-2485, visit our website or stop by the Giertz Gallery.

Our hours are Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and Saturdays, noon to 2 p.m. Please check ahead of time for our hours over the holidays. We look forward to seeing you at the event!
