The Abaco Island Artists

ABACO, Bahamas - On March 3rd, the Abaco Cancer Society and the Abaco Island Artists are joining forces to raise funds for the ACS. The show, which is very popular with Treasure Cay second home-owners and the local population of Green Turtle Cay, will be held at the beautiful Green Turtle Club on March 3rd.

This year, the artists have been asked to paint a canvas bag. The bags, which were a very popular item at the last ACS show in Marsh Harbour, will be raffled off during the show.

The Abaco Cancer Society (ACS) raises funds to help local cancer patients pay for medicine and round-trip airline tickets to their treatment destination. The Society has a hugely successful thrift shop, which is open on Saturdays and is located next to Abaco Groceries in Marsh Harbour.

The show on Green Turtle starts at 10:30 am and closes at 3:30 pm.
