MAWA's Over The Top
Don’t miss the art event of the year! MAWA’s Over the Top Art Auction and Cupcake Party returns for its seventh year on Sunday March 20 2011, from 2- 5 pm. This year they are coining the event The Day of 1000 Cupcakes!
Join the party! Bid on artwork, buy gift-basket raffle tickets and eat cupcakes to your heart’s content! Last year Over the Top brought in over 400 visitors to MAWA, and over 120 artists donated artwork.
