I recently had a couple of paintings in Big Names, Small Art, a fund raising silent auction for the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA which took place on May 23. It was an energetic, fun filled evening. The auction was divided into four groups, set up in different areas of the museum's courtyard. The bidding for each auction closed about a half an hour apart and attention was drawn to the closing groups by three colorful dancing gals on stilts. The crowd of artists and art lovers were themselves colorful. The museum chose to sell my two tiny paintings as a diptych and it was fun to see the back and forth between bidders as the auction came to a close. The event was very successful and all submitted art was sold.
