Give & Take Art Auction This Thursday at Artspace

May, 11, 2010 , by Ladye Jane

Arrive early and bring your wallet to this Thursday’s Give & Take at Artspace because after looking at the pieces that are up for auction, you know they are going to go fast. Over 75 artists have created pieces for the auction that goes to benefit the children’s Artspace Summer Arts Program, with the kicker being that each work is available for $50 or less.

The line up is incredible, and includes notable Raleigh artists like Jason Craighead, David Eichenberger, Paul Friedrich, Sarah Powers, Pete Sack, Casey Porn, Shaun Richards, Shawn Rocco, and Luke Buchanan. There are 50 pieces for $50, 27 pieces for $25, and 5 silent art pieces.

Members of Artspace have first dibs on the pieces, are are able to begin purchasing at 6:00. Non-members get a patron number based on their place in line, and can begin purchasing at 7:00. If all the amazing art wasn’t enough to get you there, the Bowerbirds, one of our favorite bands, play at 9:00. Read how the auction works here.
