The Mermaid Guild’s reputation continues to grow in the community, the traveling mermaid is at various fundraisers bringing in money for people in need.
We are bringing back the fabulously successful Mermaid Art Auction this year to be held October 23-31 at the SOMA Gallery thanks to the generosity of Janet Miller.
As you may recall, we gave local artists cut out mermaids and mermen to decorate with whatever medium they chose and we received as many variations of styles as there were mermaids! We are going with the same idea, but have made 2 sizes this time. There are 35 of the original size and 61 smaller versions.
The MOST exciting change this year is our decision to have the fundraiser benefit a more local group.
We are starting the Mermaid Guild Scholarship Fund for Lower Cape female students studying business. Since we are a group of women-owned businesses, we thought this was a perfect match for our fundraising.
We are going to try to have the auction be online also so people who are not in Cape May can participate - if anyone is experienced with this, help would be appreciated.
We will be needing bodies at the auction the night of the party, the traveling mermaid will be there taking $5 donations for the scholarship fund and needs someone to take those donations. Since it is off season, we hope you all can come and participate in the fun - it’s good for people to see the faces of the Mermaid Guild.
Of course if any of you know a local artist that would like to participate, they can pick up a form at the Flying Fish Studio on Park Blvd.
