JACKSON HOLE, WYO – CES announced this week that First Republic Bank has pledged support as title sponsor for the Art of Love’s fourth annual plate auction. Community Entry Services hosts the popular fundraiser in September at the Center for the Arts.

Sam and Jenny Dowd have been bust crafting all winter, throwing an impressive 52 ceramic plates to be painted by returning artists including Amy Ringholz, Anika Youcha, Ben Roth, Carrie Wild, and Kathryn Mapes Turner just to name a few. A few exciting new names are also included this year with Kathy Wipfler, Patricia Griffin, Jina Kim, Jenny Foster, Sonia Reid, Wendell Field, and Abby Paffrath joining the event.

CES also presents works by several of its own participants as well as local high school students.

Partygoers can look forward to a culinary experience from Palate and Gather of Jackson Hole, specialty cocktails created by the well-known Zac Isler from JH Still Works and delicious wine provided by The Liquor Store of Jackson Hole.

The mood will be set by Stevie Nicks’ Rumours album while gold-dusted French 75s are passed to attendees during an evening full of spectacular art, community involvement, and of course, love.
