Art Auction Fundraiser for WNC’s Higher Education in Prison Program Ends April 29
Support Western Nevada College in the development of its Higher Education in Prison Program (HEPP) by participating in an art auction that will conclude on April 29.
HEPP and WNC Foundation are presenting "Creative Expressions Beyond the Bars,” where you can bid on paintings, sketches, jewelry, crocheted items, poems and more created by incarcerated or formerly incarcerated artists.
All but 5 percent of the auction proceeds will support HEPP. The remaining 5 percent of net proceeds will be utilized to purchase art supplies for the Warms Springs and Northern Nevada correctional centers in recognition of those who donated artwork.
