      TRAC's Annual Benefit Art Auction    
   
       
 


New this year:
Pre-sale items!

 

The 30th Annual TRAC Benefit Auction takes place on Sunday, August 12, 2007. Items in glass, wood, fiber, clay, fabric, paper, and metals are but a few of the works donated by local artists and craftspeople that will be auctioned by expert auctioneer David Little.

Over 100 lots of art are included in the live auction and close to 100 in the Silent Auction, which includes arts and crafts, services and items donated by local businesses and individuals.

Auction items are on display in the TRAC Center Gallery in downtown Spruce Pine, now through August 12, which is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 to 5 pm (and until 8 pm on August 11). This provides guests the opportunity to pre-register for the auction, start placing bids on auction items, and view the artwork that will be in the live auction.

The Auction party and registration starts at 12 noon on Sunday, August 12. (Admission is $10). Guests continue to bid in the Silent Auction (which closes at 1:30), preview the items for the live auction, and enjoy the delicious refreshments. Promptly at 1:30 auctioneer David Little begins the live auction. His skill and humor delight and entertain the crowd as he successfully auctions the beautiful donated items. By close to 3:30 the auction is finished and guests prepare to leave for home with their newly purchased items.

Proceeds from the Auction benefit the continuance of the many school and community programs sponsored by the Toe River Arts Council. (All auction events will take place in the TRAC Center Gallery, 269 Oak Avenue, Spruce Pine).
