Richmond, VA – Approximately 60 works of art from leading regional artists will be up for auction to raise funds for Richmond’s Artspace as the non-profit gallery launches its 32nd year serving the artists and art-loving communities of Central Virginia. Led by our Guest Curator, Julie Weissend - local art lover, philanthropist, activist and developer - our auction committee has reviewed the work of numerous artists, looking for fresh and exciting pieces to present at our upcoming event. The auction will fill the gallery with works from the region’s top painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, mixed-media artists and others. Silent auction bidding begins at the opening reception on Friday, February 28th, 6:00-9:00 p.m. The opening is free and open to the public with music by The Cheats Movement.
The auction culminates on Saturday, March 14th, with a gala event featuring a Live Auction and $50 Room, where small works will be sold directly off the walls for the set price of $50. The Cheats Movement will be providing music and the auction will be led by Swisher Auctions, LLC, featuring auctioneer, Brian Pontius. Advance sale tickets for the event are $35; tickets purchased at the door will be $50. Ticket price includes hors d’oeuvres, beverages, and a bidder number required for purchases in both the Silent and Live Auctions as well as the $50 Room.
