The art club is asking the community to participate in the “Buy A Brick” campaign. All donations include installation at the sculpture base and recognition in the program booklet. Bricks can be purchased for a donation of $50, $60 or $100.
Anyone, who is interested in purchasing a brick, is asked to contact the Uniontown Art Club at P.O. Box 963, Uniontown Pa 15401.
