AVA's 2013 Silent Auction
Open Everyday through March 23
Silent Auction Party and Final Bids:
Saturday, March 23, 5:30-8pm
AVA Gallery and Art Center's Silent Auction has begun!
This year, AVA's
40th anniversary year, more than 100 artists and craftspeople have
donated works, including oil paintings, pastels, watercolors,
photographs, sculpture, mixed media works, drawings, prints, jewelry,
ceramics, woodwork, and glass.
Additionally,
donations from many generous local businesses--including jewelry,
clothing, cookware, fashion accessories, various services and gift
certificates--also constitute an important part of the auction.
Elegant hors
d'oeuvre, provided by Home Hill Inn, will be served at the Silent
Auction Party on Saturday, March 23, and music performed by Ed
Eastridge, guitar and Fred Haas, saxophone, will set the tone for this
festive occasion.
The Silent Auction
is AVA's most important annual fundraiser. Proceeds from the Silent
Auction help support every aspect of AVA's art programming and mission,
including art classes and workshops, exhibitions by established and
emerging artists, scholarship and internship opportunities as well as
special opportunities for children and adults with disabilities.
No admission is charged to preview the Silent Auction Exhibition or to make early-bird bids between March 16 - March 23, 2013, 11am-5pm
There is an admission fee for the Silent Auction Party, which will take place on Saturday, March 23, from 5:30-8:00pm:
$25 for members, if purchased in advance
$30 for non-members, if purchased in advance
$40 at the door
Not surprisingly,
the bidding has been brisk since the Silent Auction Exhibition opened
last Saturday, as this year's auction items are spectacular! Come see
for yourself!
