Join us for the “Closing Reception” of our annual Silent Auction at Artascope Studios. As a nonprofit Art Center, we depend on the generosity of our wonderful friends and neighbors to help us build community. We offer affordable and accessible art experiences to all and we make it easy for you to support our mission by putting together gorgeous artwork for you to purchase. Buying one of the items from our auction is a WIN WIN WIN–it benefits the artist (they receive 50% of the sale), it benefits you (you get the inspiring artwork for you or a loved one), and it benefits Artascope (with much needed capital to execute our mission). What could be better?
Be sure to check out the 90+ artworks available in our fundraising auction, available online until the Closing Reception. It is an impressive mash-up of creative output featuring handcrafted items and paintings from some of the best artists in Maine. Works by Eric Jacobsen, Liz Prescott, and Garin Baker are included, as well as discounted art classes and beautiful jewelry and ceramics made by our members, teachers, and friends.
Artwork that has not already been sold will be on view at Bickford Pavilion, 1 Railroad Square, Yarmouth, Maine on Saturday, September 23rd from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. Free to attend and open to the public. Last bids will be taken at 6:30pm and winning bidders will be able to take the work home with them immediately after.
