My husband Bill and I, three of our adult children, and their significant others are chairing this year’s Burchfield Penney Art Center Art Auction & Gala. We’ve attended as a family the past few years; it’s been a good party for a good cause, so we said yes when asked to step up to the plate.
We love that it’s a cocktail-style format with an early start time of 5:30 p.m. and an early exit time of 9 p.m. We love that there is regional art to bid on and take home; using your cellphone to bid on your favorite piece while increasing the sale price is fun. We love the excellent food and drink served and that this event is not a seated dinner but a night for moving around the beautiful gallery space and socializing with others. We love that we all get dressed up and celebrate a night out.

Thank you to our artists, who are providing approximately 100 works for bidding. Thank you to our committee and the Burchfield team. If you are reading and have supported or attended this event in the past, a resounding thank you to you all as well, as we are building on your effort and success.

PS. The event ends early, and you can get out of there before the sun goes down. 🙂 Here are some behind-the-scenes looks at our little after-parties at home:
