Last year, as a
fundraiser for the museum, we asked several area artists to donate a handmade
ornament for a silent auction. If successful, we hoped to make this
an annual fundraiser. The artist were generous - we received several
lovely pieces and raised almost $600.00.
Our second auction
will begin at the opening of our holiday exhibit which is December 1,
2001. The final bids will be accepted on December 15, 2001, until 4:00 PM.
We are asking our
artists friends for an original handmade piece with a starting bid of $20.00 for
the silent auction. Your pieces will be displayed on a unique tree in the
lobby of the museum for the two week period to gather bids. If you have an
item that would not begin at a $20.00 bid, we will place it on our tree in the
museum gift shop for sale, you will still be helping us raise funds.
We thank you for your
support of the Janice Mason Art Museum and hope to have your work represented at
our auction. If you have any questions, please call Karen
Clement and leave a message. (270-924-1191) You may drop off
your piece at the museum or we will pick it up at your convenience by November
24, 2001. Be sure to leave your name, address and phone number with your
piece.
Thank you,
Karen Clement, Auction Chair
