FLAGSTAFF — Palette to Palate funds purchased a pugmill that makes clay smooth and consistent, and the funds helped buy a badly needed new kiln to fire pottery. New track lights and shades grace the art room, and scholarships support student success in the Fine Arts Department.

For the last 15 years, the Palette to Palate fundraiser has been dedicated to raising funds for the Coconino Community College Fine Arts Department. Each year, the event has successfully raised funds and has continued to grow in popularity, resulting in the best year to date last year – to the tune of $15,000.

The 2017 Palette to Palate promises to be just as successful.

Palette to Palate is a mixture of great food and great art. More than a dozen local restaurants compete for the top spots by featuring some of their finest hors d’oeuvres, main dishes and desserts while the artwork of local artists and CCC students is auctioned off to the highest bidder. The guests at the event are also treated to fine entertainment by local performers.
