April 18, 2012 - PRLog -- (WOODSTOCK, Ill.) – April 18, 2012 – Gallery In The Garden, a celebration of the synthesis of art in nature, announced today that its 7th annual event will be held on July 28 and 29, and artist applications are now being accepted. For the third consecutive year a portion of proceeds will be donated to Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of McHenry County.

“Drawing in visitors from all over northern Illinois and Wisconsin, Gallery In The Garden brings together the best of our McHenry County community,” said Deb Glaubke, co-founder of Gallery In The Garden. “In what was supposed to be a one-time event in 2006 has turned into seven annual shows that grow in popularity each year, making it possible for charitable organizations like CASA to benefit from our success.”

In the past two years Gallery In The Garden has raised nearly $10,000 for CASA, an organization that provides volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children in the court system, provide needed information to the court, and help develop a more effective juvenile court process.

The event organizers are seeking artists of all mediums to exhibit at the show that takes place in a private Woodstock garden, including a Japanese meditation garden and a pond feature with both native and imported plantings. Application instructions for artist selection into the exhibition can be found at www.galleryinthegarden.org. The deadline for entries is April 30, 2012. Gallery is also welcoming back its Woodstock business sponsors including Jenapea’s, Royal Victorian Manor and Jaci’s Cookies.

Both CASA of McHenry County and Gallery In The Garden are 501(c)(3) Non-For-Profit organizations.
