The Art 4 Art's Sake Auction

is being held at Arrowmont tomorrow evening, June 24, 2010. You'll find the particulars on the Arrowmont website and if you live within driving distance of Gatlinburg you should go there for the fun, excellent food and the opportunity to acquire a wonderful piece of art. And oh, yes, the purchases benefit the scholarship fund and allow even more students to learn skills at the school.

Here's a little preview of the artists who have very generously donated works to be included in the auction:

April Flanders makes monotypes and collographs; you can see her work at her website.

Frank Saliani, who is a former Arrowmont resident artist, works in colored cast porcelain which can be see at his website here.

Mary Todd Beam, a mixed media artist, teaches to quickly-filled classes at Arrowmont and has a following eager for her latest pieces. See her work and get a link to her blog here.

Jeweler Deb Karash's necklace is seen in the graphic at the top of the post and other pieces on her blog and her website.

Another former Arrowmont resident artist, Damon McIntyre, is a woodworker; see his gallery on his website.
