The 2009 Friends of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts has accepted the 2005 Northfield Sesquicentennial Governors Ball Lithograph for their yearly juried charity auction called Art Perchance on Friday, September 25. This event raises money for transportation of kids to MIA events. This year there was a record number of submissions to the auction and ArtOrg was pleased that our work was accepted.

The Friends of the Institute is a 87-year-old organization associated with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
