Owen Sound Artists Rally Around Raven Taylor

Local Owen Sound artists are rallying around one of their own.

The Owen Sound Artists' Co-op is aiming to raise money to assist 23-year-old Raven Taylor, who has a rare tissue disease that has severely damaged her lungs, causing her to require a double lung transplant. The local artists are having a two-week auction of art and donated items with a goal of raising $5,000 to help Raven and her family.

The 2 week auction begins August 24th, and people can donate to Raven's GoFundMe page as well. The Owen Sound Artists’ Co-op is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30am to 5:30pm, and Sundays and Holidays 12pm to 4pm.
