Fort Collins Museum of Art Annual Masks Fundraiser
Every year local artists and area residents apply to get a white bisque-fired mask. They may create whatver art out of it that they want. The mask shape is still supposed to be somewhat discernable when the art is done.
The masks are displayed for a month at the museum where people bid on them in a silent auction. The Masks event is how the museum raises most of their operating funds for the year.
