MOCA bake sale is a success!

The bake sale went great, thanks to the MOCA staff who showed up in force, to Morgan Fisher who brought cupcakes (which sold like hotcakes), Allan Sekula for documenting the whole thing and buying up a large portion of the Allen McCollum works, Christopher Knight for writing it up so well and to Judy Fiskin and Jon Wiener for their tremendous support. Extra special thanks to Nancy Sandercock for baking the Vija Celmins brownies and to Rachel Dowd for helping out with the sale.

The final take is $320.10. Unfortunately we didn’t sell any of the financiers, but one visitor to the bake sale promised that MOCA was going to get a very nice Christmas present this year – and she seemed very serious.
