About 6×6 Project
In 2018, Michelle Nowland and Ravelle Scherer approached Raue Center’s Richard Kuranda, Executive Director, and James Knight, Development Manager, with a fundraising idea of creating art on small canvases and then auctioning them off. Richard and James loved the idea, and after some brainstorming (including picking a name), the 6×6 Project was born, and the inaugural event kicked off in 2019.
Raue Center’s 6×6 PROJECT fundraiser now celebrates its seventh year of supporting the arts with Art! All proceeds benefit Raue Center’s fine arts education programs, Mission Imagination, and Raue Center School For The Arts, which have been enriching the lives of over 20,000 kids a year in the local community since 2001.
