Happy Spring,

I’m so excited, as always, to welcome everyone to this year’s 41st Annual Art Auction! This event kicks off our first auction in our new brand new, fully renovated gallery spaces - three to be exact - and they are packed with exactly 500 pieces of art for this auction.

Now, it is nearly impossible to choose favorites that caught my eye this year out of the 500! From famous NYC artists to a stunning Fern Coppedge, to a double-sided Walter Emerson Baum (we can show you exactly how to hang it), there is an incredible array of different mediums, styles, and color schemes for anyone to choose a piece, or 10, to update and freshen your space. There are also plenty of 3D sculpture masterpieces as well if a lonely bookshelf or table needs a centerpiece. With the lowest opening bid starting at just $30, there is something for every budget.

I would strongly encourage a visit to look over everything in person that the team has masterfully hung like a game of Tetris in all of our new gallery spaces. Even walking through myself, I have completely missed things I was looking for and was surprised by new pieces I didn’t realize would entice me.

Don’t forget on our online Givergy platform you can pop in your highest max bid and not have to worry about fighting to get final bids in or against a slow internet connection on Saturday May 23rd at 9:59pm. Once you place your bid, you have the option to place a maximum bid. All you have to do is enter the highest amount that you would be willing to spend on that piece. If someone bids against you, the system will bid incrementally for you if someone bids against you.

Thank you for supporting our incredible 100-year-old Baum School of Art, a community asset supporting arts education for all.

Happy Bidding!
-Shelbi R. Stoneback
President, Board of Trustees

Make sure you stop by and see us this weekend at Mayfair at Cedar Crest College!
