I am a member of my local library board of trustees. This year I am helping with their annual silent and live auction. We are adding a new area to our silent auction, a table with donations from local artists. Library patrons and auction attendees will be able to buy raffle tickets to place in jars beside each piece of art for a win through a drawing. I’m spearheading this effort and plan to have about a dozen pieces of art. I’m not looking for anything big but a quality sample of each artists’ work.
I am donating an art quilt, Birch Trees 21 in Fall, which I made this week. My tree quilts are always popular so I thought a smallish one would be perfect for the auction. This one is 12.5″ H x 16.5″W.
Each artist will have the option of providing us with copies of a short bio and/or business cards. I designed a short bio with my business card information for my donated quilt.
This seems like the perfect venue to showcase local artists. The auction is Saturday, September 21, 2024 from 6 – 9pm at the Public Library for Union County. Publicity and invitations will be coming out in July. The public is invited.
