Friends
of St. Avips
Friends
of St. Avips was organized in 1963 as a non-profit association
to raise funds for the George A. Spiva Center for the
Arts with a formal annual benefit ball. In 1999 a silent
auction of orginal works of art was included in the event
for the purpose of showcasing the area artists. In addition
to the annual ball, the organization assists in receptions
held at the Center, sponsors exhibits, and participates
in other fund-raising events for the center.
Friends of St. Avips operates independently of the George
A. Spiva Center for the Arts, but with their full cooperation
and support.
