This year’s auction will again be held in the Arts Council’s newly renovated building on South Washington Street.  An opening reception for the artists and the general public will take place from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on First Friday, April 5th, creating the opportunity to meet many of contributing artists and to see the show in its full glory.  Once again this will be an online auction hosted by Biddingowl.com and bidding will begin following the reception.

On Wednesday, April 10th we will be hosting a luncheon at the Arts Council featuring the culinary stylings of Chef Harry McCollugh.  As last year, we will have an Italian buffet offering everything from salads to dessert…and we’ll provide the wine, all for $25.00!  Last year’s luncheon was a sell-out so get your reservation no later than Friday, April5.

Then, Conservation Director Sarah Kipp will be the featured speaker for the Arts Council’s 3rd Thursday program on April 18^th at 10:00 am.  You’ll get to hear from Sarah about the Conservancy’s mission and accomplishments.  Coffee and pastries will be served.

Finally, on Monday April 22nd, we are hosting an End-of-Auction party at 5:00 pm through the 6:00 pm closing of the auction.  Drinks and snacks will be provided at no charge and all are welcome.  This party will provide one last chance to see the art in person and you can place “just one more bid” before the auction closes at 6 pm.  Winning bidders will have the opportunity to settle up and take their new art home that night.

If you want to make a reservation for the luncheon or have any questions about the auction please feel to contact the Land Conservancy of Adams County at 717-334-2828 or visit https://www.preserveadams.org/art-auction-23.
