Art-wine event funds El Dorado County scholarship program

The El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce Education Council’s annual Wine Tasting/Art Auction is May 4.

Ten Thomas Kinkade framed prints, along with artwork from other area artists, will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

David Girard Vineyard will be the site of the event. Tickets are $10 for the event that starts at 6pm.

Many artists who have participated in the past will be participating again. This is an opportunity to not only raise money for the Al Aguiar Memorial Scholarship to support the continuing education of El Dorado County residents, but the Wine Tasting/Art Auction also gives exposure to El Dorado County artists.

The Al Aguiar Memorial Scholarship enables employers in El Dorado County to assist their employees to increase their education and knowledge by allowing the employee to be trained while working, thus benefiting the employer as well.
