This year we are offering an in-person silent auction, online auction, and art experiences packages.
Below you will find a preview of the 30 + items and art experiences that will be available for in person bidding. This year we are fortunate to bring you a selection of artworks from the late Anne Goetzman who donated her body of work to the Fine Arts Center upon her passing. Goetzman was a prolific artist whose work is housed in personal and public collections across the country.
A native of New York, she was a fiercely independent woman with a deep love for the natural world. In her early career she worked for advertising agencies in the East following her studies at Northwestern University and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Syracuse University. Her art and interests took her around the world with time spent painting in such places as the Austrian Tyrol or rural areas of Botswana. She lived and exhibited extensively in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Oregon. Her final years were spent in Sequim, WA.
In addition to Anne’s work we are thrilled to bring you a few pieces from the PAFAC historic collection and Esther Webster Archive. We are excited to offer a rare opportunity to take home a piece of Esther’s work.
How it Works: In person silent bidding will run from 6 PM-8:30 PM on Friday Sept 12th in the gallery. Learn more about the artwork via the individual descriptions. Bid reserves will be provided on the bid sheets on the day of the event. Winning bidders can check out and take their selections home beginning at 8:45 PM.
Additionally, we have a small selection of items for online bid only. Online bidding will open Monday Sept 8th and will close during the fundraiser at 8PM.
