reasons. 1) Friday, December 4th is the Bend Gallery
Association First Friday Art Walk and 2) High Desert Gallery's First
Annual Holiday Greeting Card Charity Auction and Sale. Get yourself
to High Desert Gallery at the Oxford Hotel and bring your credit card
and check book as it's time to raise some funds for a local Central
Oregon not-for-profit. Not only will you support a great cause but
you'll get a great original work of art custom framed by High Desert
Frameworks!

High Desert Frameworks! has custom framed each greeting card and will offer the works of art for a “Buy-It-Now” price or the works can be purchased through a silent auction bidding process. Thirty to seventy-five percent of the sale goes to a Central Oregon not-for-profit charity of the artist's choice.
