The Make Lexi Smile Fundraiser is a great party being organized by Bern Sundell and friends to be held at RiverStone Gallery in Ennis, Montana on September 26, 2009 starting at 5 p.m. There will be music, food, wine, door prizes, fun, and festivities.

If you cannot attend in person you can still participate in other ways. Much of Bern and Lexi’s incredible art, jewelry, and sculptures will be on sale for 50% off just for this event. You can contact the gallery at 406-682-5768 or email the gallery for information about a specific artwork if you have been dreaming of having it in your home. The discounted prices are only good until September 26 for this fundraiser for Lexi’s immediate and drastically needed dental work.

The silent auction will include a wide range of exciting possibilities. You can participate in this by contacting the gallery with your bid and credit card information before the silent auction ends. For any of you who cannot attend in person, a silent auction catalog will be available September 20 which can be sent by email. It will show photos and descriptions of the items and the starting bid amounts so you can join in the fun.

Silent auction items range from a unique handcrafted tea set in stoneware to a three night vacation at an exlusive resort in Whitefish, Montana. There will also be the opportunity to have a custom redwood table made for you by Bern Sundell, a three night vacation at the Diamond J Guest Ranch in the mountains near Ennis, a float trip that will include a small painting of your best fish by Bern Sundell, a float trip with a special dinner, a unique trout belt buckle, a collector Atlantic Salmon Fly valued at $500, 10 pounds of grass fed beef and more!

Photos and more complete descriptions are being placed on a Squidoo lens as they become available. Selected items for sale from Bern and Lexi’s personal collection of art will also be shown here as those photos become available. You are welcome to check back as new items are being added daily as well.

Ask RSG Info is a good way to get your general questions about art and jewelry answered. We have a lot of interesting articles planned, but if we get specific requests, we will post those more quickly for you.

To start we are using questions we hear all the time in our brick and mortar art gallery. An upcoming article is to be “What is a Giclee?” Another is “How Should I Clean My Silver Jewelry?”

So if you have a question you would like us to answer for you, head for our contact page and ask away! We will be delighted to hear from you.

RiverStone Gallery is happy to announce that the new Info section is now live. This section will operate as a blog, which means that articles will be added frequently to provide you with a variety of useful information.

We will offer articles about the selection and care of your artwork and jewelry. Over time a considerable amount of information about different kinds of artwork and how they are created will also be added.

You can look forward to artist interviews, some of them with live audio, and other surprises coming along regularly.

To add to the fun, you can add your comments or questions after each article by clicking the responses link  at the end of the article.
