Amanda is one of two winners of this year's ArtsGala Art competition and chosen by the ArtsGala host committee to be featured at this year's event. She is a double major in graphic design and fine arts with a printmaking focus. She expects to graduate in Spring 2024 and hopes to find a job in the design field here in Dayton.

This piece, called Sky Lights, is a silkscreen print of the CAC sky lights done as part of a class taken at WSU in 2021. "We were to take a space and simplify or abstract it. I prefer to simplify so I broke the space down to its basic shapes and colors. I even tried to get the frost on the windows across by not fully filling the window in with color. I hadn't drawn the skylights in the CAC until then and most of my classes were remote at that time, which meant I didn't go out much. They felt comforting to work on in a very stressful time".

Alyssa was the winner of an ArtsGala scholarship and her colorful print was one of two chosen by the ArtsGala host committee to be featured at this year's event. She is a BFA student, with a split concentration in painting and printmaking. She will be graduating this semester, Spring 2022, and plans on getting her teaching license to become an art teacher.

This piece, called The Party, is a part of a mono-print series she created using found and made materials. Each layer of color is a different arrangement of torn paper, paper cut with an X-Acto knife, fake flowers, lace doilies, cupcake liners, and sushi paper layered in the screen print process.

Enjoy this Dominus Napa Valley Christian Moueix wine (2018) - Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Dominus Estate is a wine producer based in Napa Valley, making one of the region's so-called cult Cabernets. The owner, Christian Moueix, has had ownership - at least in part - since 1982, and ran the estate concurrently with his family wine business in Bordeaux until 2008. Dominus Estate is concerned with sustainability, and the vineyard is dry-farmed both to conserve water and to control yields and thus the quality of the fruit. Moueix has also been a particular proponent of crop-thinning, having used it since the early 1970s at Petrus. This practice is said to improve the quality of the fruit as it improves the leaf to fruit ratio, aiding ripening.

"Simply the best ever made here. the explosive aromas line the round and complex mouth! Extraordinary length. A masterpiece!"

This bottle of Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select bourbon pays tribute to Frank Sinatra. It comes from Carmel's Restaurant, where owner Bob Byers has a secret stash of high end, rare bourbon like this. He opens bottles on Thursday nights, so if you love bourbon and want an extra-special tipple, Carmel's on Thursdays is the place to be.

This bourbon is made with Jack Daniels' "Sinatra barrels" that have deep grooves specially carved into their staves to expose the whiskey to extra layers of toasted oak. This adds a rich amber color, bold character, and pleasant smokiness, punctuated by an incredibly smooth vanilla finish. The bottle is pretty cool, too.

What a fun way to carry your wine to a party!

This beautiful drink purse by Primeware Inc. with an adjustable shoulder strap is insulated and perfect for any of the 5 bottles of wine included in this package.

Includes a disposable 3 liter refreshment baggie with dispenser spout.
