The Art on the Vine Student Commission works of art have become a vital aspect of the College’s annual fundraising auction, raising nearly $13,000 for OCAC’s scholarship and programming funds every year. They are also often the most-anticipated auction pieces!

As a commissioned student artist for Art on the Vine | 2010, each student has the exciting opportunity to experience the entire process of working on a commission piece as well as earn a $400 cash award. Each student’s work is featured in the Art on the Vine | 2010 catalog, which is seen by hundreds of local art patrons.

Please join me in thanking the sponsors of each student commission piece!
