If you're just an art lover, join us for the auction in the afternoon to catch a deal on a "just finished" painting!
9 AM - Come by to sign up and join us for a snack
3 PM - Bring your finished painting (framed) back to the gallery for display
4 PM - The bidding begins!

If you can't paint out on Saturday, you can bring a painting you finished before the day of the auction. Also, all artists are entitled to enter a second painting on any subject, and in any medium, or style.
Art entered in the Auction must be properly framed and wired for hanging and all paintings must be back at the gallery by 3:00 PM for the preview.
The minimum bid has been set at $125.00, though you may set a different minimum bid for your work at a higher amount if you wish.
We are excited to have Del Bourree-Bach as our auctioneer again this year.

Stephanie Bursese
Stephanie began as a photography professor last year. She requested that White Hall Gallery be painted for critiques and student conferences. As a low priority, the walls were not painted. I was on campus yesterday and Stephanie was painting the Gallery. Thank you Stephanie for your work and dedication to the students!
