Art Auction At Great Hill
SEYMOUR â On Friday, May 19, Great Hill United Methodist Church will host an art auction in its fellowship hall. The auction will be presented by Ross Galleries, Inc. of New York.
Preview of the art to be auctioned will be held from 7 to 8 pm, with the auction following from 8 to 10 pm. Tickets are $5 per person, with monies raised to be used for capital improvements and mission projects of Great Hill United Methodist Church. Hors dâoeuvres, coffee, cake, and punch will be served prior to and following the auction.
Between 150 and 200 works of art by national, international, and lesser known artists will be offered. The selection will include oil paintings, watercolors, silkscreens, original and offset lithographs and etchings, among other mediums.
Most pieces will be opening with a bid between $50 and $150. Many of the pieces are signed and numbered by the artist, giving the pieces collectorâs value. The art is distinctively matted and framed and is often sold at the auction at one-half to one-third below traditional framed gallery prices. MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express will all be accepted.
In addition to the art auction, several service gifts donated by members and friends of Great Hill United Methodist will be auctioned, including an Indian cuisine dinner for four, tutoring for an elementary level student, a watercolor or pen and ink of your home, professionally framed needlepoint of a famous Rockwell scene, timeshare vacation, a spa getaway, lobster dinner for four, an Italian gift basket including restaurant certificate, and golf lessons and a driving iron.
