On May 7th, the gymnasium at the
Double Oaks Masonic Outreach Center was transformed by the brilliant hardworking staff of the
McColl Center for Visual Art (who
arranged to have a wonderful jazz ensemble play for the evening
thoroughly enriching our celebratory event). They even lit the work so
people could see all the effort and detail. The
McColl Center
graciously provided delicious food and drink, expertly prepared bid sheets, and there was even a gorgeous
arrangement of flowers provided, thanks to Libby! All these caring efforts were made to dress
up the gymnasium and honor our creative stewardship!

And so
Synthesis was a huge success! 247 people attended! It was an exceptionally diverse evening with students, friends, family, community members and cultural mavens all in attendance. Every single piece sold, raising more than twice as much money to help clean waterways as was raised
during Robson's first, 3 week crash course iteration of Sculpture +
Intercepting the Waste Stream at Mary Baldwin College. (BRAVO CPCC!)
Many thanks to everyone who helped support this innovative course and the students who persevered, despite all the challenges they encountered along the way!
