FLAGSTAFF — This summer, faculty and students from Northern Arizona University plan on taking a trip to Austria to study and film what is happening with various refugee groups as they learn to integrate into Austrian society. To get there, the small group from NAU will need financial help.
On Saturday, Jan. 30, there will be an art auction to help raise the $25,000 needed for the group to make its way to Austria for a month-long visit.
The event will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30 at the Campus Coffee Bean, 1800 S. Milton Road, Flagstaff.
Artist donating items include Bahe Whitethorne Sr., and his son Bahe Whitethorne Jr., Shonto Begay, Randall J. Wilson, and Jerrel Singer, with Mayan baskets by Marina Vasquez, and canvas prints by Kiril Kirkov.
The items will be auctioned by Col. Russell Mann of Flagstaff Auctions. Live music by Matt Hall and Chase Coleman will be provided.
