The Fenton Artist Guild voted to sponsor the BRICK BY BRICK campaign as our contribution for the fundraising efforts for the future Fenton Area Cultural Center. All members are asked to help with this effort in any way that they can. Brochures are available at our meetings or call Joan Horcha at 810-750-7506, or Karen McHale Cherveny 810-629-8029. Bricks are available in two sizes for $150 or $250. Our goal is to create brick walkways, patios and garden areas. The bricks will be engraved as requested by the purchasers. Bricks can be engraved with your name, a family name, to honor someone else, or in memory of someone. It will take one brick at a time, but with the support of the community, we will create a showcase for events that will continue to make this area a fabulous place to visit and live.
