SCHOLARSHIP: Local artists and the Berry family hope to wind up their drive to create a Liz Berry Memorial Scholarship fund at UAF with a silent auction fundraiser Thursday.
The silent auction featuring the work of about three dozen Alaska artists, including the late Liz Berry, is to be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the UAF Art Gallery.
The items will be available for view in the display cases outside the art department from today until Thursday. The bids close at 7:30 p.m. on the night of the fundraiser.
“Liz Berry was a truly remarkable individual who positively influenced so many people in all walks of life. She did this without fanfare up to her final days and it is fitting we honor her with the legacy of an endowed scholarship,†wrote artist and UAF associate professor Todd Sherman.
About $1,000 more is needed to reach the minimum $12,500 funding level needed for the scholarship, said Diana Berry. More on the net
