Virginia Glass Guild is offering $2000 in educational scholarships this year. Award money this year will be payable to: Glass Art Society for a Full Member Conference Pass or a Full-Time Student Conference Pass to GAS Conference 2017 to be held in Norfolk, June 1-3.
Silent Auction: |
The annual Silent Auction is the Guild’s primary fundraiser supporting the Educational Scholarship Program. The Guild has increased the scholarship amount to $2000 over the past few years. Auction pieces should be delivered to The Charles H Taylor Arts Center during the artwork drop off October 7-9.
|
Scholarship Award Members: |
Each of the previous exhibition scholarship recipients are expected to donate one piece to this year’s auction in appreciation for the support they received.
The Guild members who received a scholarship awards, will also be required to make a presentation to the guild sharing what they have learned. |
Member's Involvement |
A similar commitment from each guild member would insure a fantastic auction and very good chance at meeting our goal of $2000 in proceeds. Please support the Silent Auction with your pieces, large and small, and encourage friends and family to come and bid on beautiful art glass by local artists!
Contributing artists will be able to set a minimum bid and increments for their donated artwork and the proceeds from successfully auctioned pieces will be split 40% artist, 40% guild and 20% CHTAC. |
BUY NOW! |
A Great hit last year! A Buy Now price for each piece, giving bidders the opportunity to secure their favorite piece at a higher price, but still below the established value for the work.
|
Comittee Members: |
Committee members are needed for organizing the Silent Auction. Please consider supporting the guild with a few volunteer hours to make this our most successful Silent Auction to date. You may sign up during October 9th meeting or email: boardmember3@virginiaglassguild.org ;Robin Short
