Most OOPS artists agreed sometime back to donate their plein air works from the paint out to sale or auction off to help raise money for the preservation of the Yopps Meeting House. Sherry has graciously allowed these paintings to be exhibited in her gallery for sale with all or part of the proceeds (up to individual artists) to go to the Friends Of the Yopp House.
