Last year’s silent auction was a great mix of local art, souvenirs from our sister cities, and generous donations from local businesses and members. We’ve got new donations coming in daily for the March 8th, 6:30 p.m. Annual Membership Celebration at the Savoy Ballroom, located at 224 E. Commercial Street.

Beside the silent auction, we’ll have a music from a string quartet and later M-Dock Band (maybe even dancing), good food, and cash bar. You’ll hear about exciting changes for the upcoming ArtsFiesta!, the Kite Festival, and citizen trips to Mexico and Japan.

Members get into the event free, and you can renew your membership at the door. We have some sponsored tables, so if you are an artist willing to donate one of your wonderful artworks to the auction, let us know so we can give you a sponsored artist seat at the event. Also if we could have the item before March 8, we can photograph and feature it on our website and Facebook Page.

For further information, to make a donation or a group table reservation, please email Cindy Jobe or call her at 417-864-1341.
