More About the Silent Auction
Each chalk artist contributes a painted canvas for our silent auction. Blick Art Materials donates 1 X 1 ft. canvases on which the artists paint whatever they desire. We auction these pieces off over the course of the festival in support of Light Bringer Project’s arts education programming.
If you are interested in acquiring one of these original pieces it’s as simple as:
Visit the silent auction booth and get a bid number
Jot down your bid number and bid amount next to the artwork
Bidding continues throughout festival hours, both days and closes at 5:00pm, Sunday.
Should you become top bid, you may pay and pick up the canvas at 5:00pm. If you are not present then you will be notified where and how to get your canvas.
