The Elora Centre for the Arts is hosting it’s biggest annual fundraising event of the year.
And the call for entries is out for artists to take part.
From May 10 to 12 the Elora Centre for the Arts will be presenting Artcetera 2012, a three-day fundraising art auction profiling local, regional and national artists’ work which will be available for sale through a silent auction bidding process over a three-day period.
The highlight of the event culminates in a live auction and reception on the final evening.
This event not only raises much-needed funds for the centre, but also promotes and supports local and regional artists. Participating artists are paid 50% of the selling price.
Last spring the Centre’s Artcetera 2011 raised well over $30,000 and profiled the artwork of over 100 artists, including Eileen MacArthur, Jo-Anne Harder, John Kissick, Joel Masewich, Barry McCarthy, Jim Reed and Phil Irish.
Artists are asked to visit the Centre’s website at www.eloracentreforthearts.ca for submission details.
Entries will be selected on an ongoing basis until March 23.
“Submitting artwork to Artcetera 2012 is an excellent opportunity to get an artist’s name and work out in front of hundreds of people who like art, collect art and support the arts,” said Arlene Saunders, general manager of the Elora Centre for the Arts.
For further information contact Joanne Grodzinski, Artcetera 2012 chairman and manager, by email at artcetera@eloracentreforthearts.ca or by telephone at 519-846-9670.
