As the only public art event of its kind on the North Shore, the FANS Tribute to the Arts presents a unique opportunity for the community to participate in the recognition of outstanding artistic achievement by North Shore artists. The evening features live entertainment, art exhibition, cocktail reception and fundraising auction. Proceeds from this event are used to further support art and artists here on the North Shore.
