New in-person event announced featuring artist demonstrations, a special gallery talk, live music, mouthwatering dessert auction, and a celebratory toast
SOLVANG — The California Nature Art Museum’s (http://www.calnatureartmuseum.org) annual silent auction returns this fall, but this year they will also host an in-person event that puts the “FUN” into fundraising!
Along with a chance to bid on several impressive artworks, this event will include a brief gallery talk by artists David Gallup & Nansi Bielanski Gallup, artist demonstration by Kevin Gleason, live music by Elias y Madeline, decadent wines from Cordon Winery, delicious bites, delectable desserts, and more! It’s the perfect way to have some Fall fun, enjoy thoughtfully curated art, and support the Museum’s mission: To inspire stewardship of nature through art and education. Online bidding goes live on October 24 and closes on November 2 at 5:00pm. Online bidders do not have to attend the event. All bidding is online and people in person do not have an advantage–except for the opportunity to take the items they won home right away! The final hours of the silent auction will close the event with different ways to bid onsite, as well as provide opportunities to bid on exclusive and delicious dessert items, which are the only items not also offered online. The evening ends with a celebratory toast to thank guests for their support.
