Dear Friends,
Welcome to our second annual fall auction. We have many exciting items remaining in the auction and invite you to 'buy it now' for the starting bid amount, or 30% off in some cases. There is no bidding, only the option to buy it now. Making a purchase not only helps Salem Art Works, you could have a gift for that someone special in time for the holiday season.
We would like to thank all of our artists who donated one or more pieces of art. Without them our auction and flash sale would not be a success. Each piece of art contains a short bio of the artist and description of the art. If you like their art, please feel free to contact that artist either by the email or website provided.
Funds raised by the auction are used to subsidize programs and residencies at SAW. In 2021 SAW returned to our normal programming starting in July of this year. New this year was a 518 Regional Artist Residency program which was funded through an anonymous donor. The program provided 12 artists with free room, board, studio and project budget for up to 4 weeks.
SAW also successfully hosted three large events including the SVAC Force exhibition in partnership with the Southern Vermont Art Center, Music on the Hill with nearly 120 people in attendance, and the Festival of Fire with approximately 80 artists.
Please read below for instructions on how to bid on the auction.
