When it comes to A is for Art!, the gala/fundraiser/fun raiser put on by the APS Education Foundation, this is lucky '13.

"We're excited about the event, because if you think you've seen A is for Art! and know what it's about, we'll provide plenty of surprises," said APS Education Foundation Executive Director Phill Casaus. “We'll celebrate kids in both visual and vocal arts, plus great musicians, but we'll also have some cool new things."

Key sponsors are lining up for the event, and the Foundation has a new and improved sponsorship packet.

Last year's event raised thousands on behalf of the Foundation and the Fine Arts Department, with student artists also receiving a percentage of the sales of their work.

In 2012, famed local artist Edward Gonzales donated a piece to the event which sold for more than $4,000.
