Patrons will have two ways to collect: In addition to the original 4” x 6” paintings, prints, photographs and collages, new this year will be original 10” x 10” art works. The 4” x 6” works of art are still $50 each.  When you buy three, you get the fourth free.

The 10” x 10” works of art on wood panels will be raffled during the evening, with raffle tickets at $100. Raffle tickets will be drawn one at a time and patrons will then pick one of the 10” x 10” artworks in order of number selected. At the end of the raffle, all remaining pieces will be available for purchase at $200 each.

Unlike the mystery of purchasing the 4” x 6” works of art where the artist is not known until after purchase, the 10” x 10” pieces will not be anonymous and are on display in the Borglum Gallery. 

Some of the artists who will be participating include, Alberta Cifolelli of Westport, Roxanne Faber Savage of Fairfield, Fran Henry Meehan of Southport, Marty Kreme of Pound Ridge, N.Y.,  Erin Nazzaro of Georgetown, DeAnn Prosia of Newtown, James Reed of Bridgeport, Susan Sharp of Easton, Anita Soos of Guilford and Marjorie Tomchuck of New Canaan.  All proceeds will benefit gallery exhibitions and programs at Silvermine. All purchases are tax free during this fundraising event.
