On November 5th 2009, Hambidge will hold its 14th Annual Art Auction at The Foundry at Puritan Mill. The Auction is Hambidge's largest fundraiser and is a success every year due to the generosity of our artists and benefactors.

As many of you know, Hambidge is an organization with a long history of commitment to supporting artists by nurturing the creative spirit and encouraging an appreciation for the arts within the community. We recognize that this has been a difficult year for everyone involved in the arts community. Unfortunately, securing funding and donations for arts organizations has become increasingly difficult in our current economic climate. Because of this, your support is needed now more than ever and we hope you will consider donating a work of art to this year's Auction. Auction proceeds go towards scholarships for artist residencies as well as environmental projects established to preserve the beauty and integrity of the pristine sanctuary that is Hambidge.

Curator Anne Lambert Tracht will again be this year's art consultant. She will be selecting approximately 25 - 30 pieces for the live auction and 75 - 100 pieces for the silent auction. Participating artists can select a 0%,10%, 20%, or 30% commission from the sale of their work. They will also receive a complimentary ticket to the auction, be listed as a participant and will be invited to attend the preview party on October 21st at the home of Mr. Paul Hagedorn. This will be a fun evening where you can mingle with fellow artists and many of Hambidge's most avid collectors.

Please express your interest in donating at your earliest convenience. The application deadline is Friday, October 2, 2009, and all approved artwork must be received no later than Friday, October 16, 2009. We look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks!
