The Watauga Arts Council Presents:
The 6x6 Fundraiser
Small Art. Big Impact.
Join us for our annual 6x6 Fundraiser: A celebration of creativity, community, and the power of the arts to connect us all. Artists of all ages, mediums, and skill levels are invited to contribute original works that measure exactly 6x6 inches, all sold to raise funds for local arts operations through the Watauga Arts Council.
Event Details
When: Festive First Friday (Friday, December 5th) from 6-9pm
Where: Betty’s Biscuits on King Street (640 W. King Street, Boone NC)
Admission: Free and open to all!
Enjoy an evening filled with art, music, conversation, and community support. Each 6x6 artwork will be sold for $30, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the Watauga Arts Council and its mission to uplift our local creative community!
How It Works
Artists create original artwork within 6x6 dimensions using any medium.
Every piece is priced equally at $30.
Every purchase helps sustain WAC’s programs and operations, which support local artists while promoting arts education, advocacy, and accessibility throughout the High Country.

Unsold pieces from the fundraiser will be available in our online post-event shop at a discounted price, starting Saturday, December 6th. Click the button below on or after that date to view available works!
