2022-2023 Painted Violin Fundraiser
WHAT IS IT?
The Painted Violins is one of PYSO’s long-running and most successful fundraising endeavors in assisting PYSO students in reducing expenses related to PYSO’s international tours.
THE VIOLINS AND ARTISTS!
PYSO has collected unusable violins and reached out to several local artists to “paint” or decorate the violins in a one-of-a-kind fashion. All these amazing artists have donated their talent and time to decorate the violins.
HOW IT WORKS!
It’s just like a raffle. Tickets are available for purchase from PYSO members. On the ticket(s) the patron indicates the violin they like best. Between January and May the tickets (and monies) are periodically returned to PYSO staff. A drawing for the winning tickets will be held at the final PYSO Concert on Sunday, May 7, 2023.
Suggested donation for one ticket is $5.00. The more tickets that one purchases the slightly cheaper it becomes. Here is a breakdown:
1 ticket $5.00
3 tickets $10.00
5 tickets $15.00
7 tickets $20.00
10 tickets $25.00
