The Defiance Society of Artists (DSA) is celebrating nearly 80 years and will host its annual Egg & Bake Sale on April 12 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at 522 Pearl St. Dozens of blown eggs, painted by members in watercolor and acrylic, will be available for sale. Childproof and “cat-friendly” painted plastic eggs are also a recent addition, and labeled as plastic.
Traditionally, a bake sale also is featured as part of the painted egg sale. A variety of treats will be available for purchase.
In addition, numerous unique hand-painted eggs will be offered for auction on the DSA Facebook page from April 5-11, with bidding starting at $10. Bids are made by commenting on your favorite egg photos throughout the week. Egg pick-up will be April 12 after payment is received.
Proceeds from the sale are earmarked for the upkeep of the DSA facility and studio.
Several local artists donate months of time and supplies to paint the eggs, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the art society.
The DSA also will be participating in the Lilac Festival in downtown Defiance on May 10, along with Art in the Park on June 29 on Fort Street.
For additional information, contact the DSA president Zeke Tracy at 440-462-7646.
Anyone wishing to become a member is welcome to attend monthly meetings, slated for 7 p.m. the first Wednesday of the month. Membership is $35 a year.
Checking out the egg selections are Zeke Tracy and Stacy Inglorion.
