10" x 10" Silent
Auction: Second Year of Small Surprises
The Windham Art Gallery is pleased to
be holding its second annual 10 x 10 Silent Auction and Festive
Fundraiser in which each of the 25 artist-members of WAG have
painted, or otherwise creatively altered, 10” x 10” canvases
that will be on preview, both online and
beginning during Gallery Walk on Friday, December 7 and continue
each day throughout the week, 12-5 PM, and will culminate
in an auction closing party on Saturday, December 15 from
6-8 PM. The party will include sumptuous hors d’oeuvres,
a cash wine and beer bar, and the opportunity to take part
in a celebratory, festive event, to purchase affordable art
and to support WAG, the oldest, continuous cooperative gallery
in New England.
Participants in the auction will find this year, as they did
last, two dozen small and startingly delightful works of art,
that include landscapes by Petria Mitchell, Tim Allen, Carolyn
DiNicola-Fawley, Steven Meyer and Cary Nelson, abstract works
by Marjorie Sayer, Leonard Ragouzeos and Carolyn Nelson, and
images of crows, chickens, and hummingbirds by Caryn King,
Robin Stronk and Lesley Heathcote, to name only a few. Many
of the artists have commented that the 10 x 10 format allows
them to express familiar subject matter in unexpected, new
ways.
The success of last year's silent auction, which raised over
$4000, helped the gallery to refresh its image, literally--with
renovations that included a new floor--and in the eyes of the
community, by allowing WAG to offer more free events and exhibits
to the public, such as a Senior Art Show, Student Art Month
and a collaborative exhibit of work by artists and writers.
In order to place bids, purchase of a $1 bookmark/bid number
is necessary. Please stop by the gallery, call or e-mail for
more information. The 10” x 10” Silent Auction
is sponsored in part by Beverly Alberts, Brattleboro
Food Co-Op, Brattleboro Savings & Loan, Beadniks, Chittenden
Bank, C&S Wholesale Grocers, Lauren Henry Designs,
Prompt Image, Tom & Sally’s Homemade Chocolates,
Windham Flowers, Vermont Yankee, and Zephyr Designs.
There will also be an exhibition of Small Works by all gallery
members that will be on display the entire month of December.
From December 21-30, Marilyn Allen: Recent Work will be on
exhibit in the front gallery.
