With COVID-19 continuing to impact the health of Riley County residents, visitation to the Meadowlark campus is still limited. Winners of auction items will be contacted within 48 hours of the auction closing to arrange local delivery or shipment of your items. Winners are asked to pay any necessary shipping fees.
Meadowlark Memory Program appreciates your interest in Art Mingle 2020, and thanks our event sponsors, the featured artists, and the individuals and businesses who donated auction items. Your generosity is gratefully acknowledged as we strive together to support and encourage persons with cognitive changes.
Thank you for bidding and giving!
