Fort 91原创 Artists Group (FLAG) is going ahead with their annual charity gallery, but in a virtual setting.

From now until July 31, people can peruse FLAG鈥檚 website or their to check out local art for sale.

People can purchase 10 X 10 paintings; half of the proceeds goes to the artists while the other half of sales will support 91原创 Hospice Society.

Gabrielle Strauss, FLAG鈥檚 organizer, said 91原创 Hospice received $650 from FLAG鈥檚 charity gallery last year.

鈥淒ue to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for physical distancing, the 91原创 Heritage Society has made the difficult decision to keep the CNR Station closed for the season,鈥� Strauss said.

Virtual viewing will be people鈥檚 only chance to experience FLAG鈥檚 new creative works, since the Flagstop Gallery will be closed.

FLAG artist鈥檚 work typically hangs in CNR Station and has been an anonymous gallery in the past with artists name鈥檚 written on the back of the peice so buyers don鈥檛 know until after purchase.

鈥淚nstead of mounting a theme-based show, the members of the Fort 91原创 Artists Group [FLAG] have chosen to showcase some of their favorite new creations online in a virtual, visual feast,鈥� Strauss explained.

Alison Philptt, Annie Segelkin, Beverly Lawrence, Caroline Ashley, Daphne Scaman, Diane Zepeski, Ela Cholewa, Gabrielle Strauss, Kim Bucholtz, Margo Harrison, Marguerite Whelton, Patricia Falck, Robin Bandenieks, and Ursula Bolivar all contributed a variety of different pieces of artwork for the cause.
