Artworks is this Saturday!
This weekend is all about art at Arkansas Repertory Theatre. There will be a diverse collection of artwork from nearly 90 of central Arkansas’ most notable artists available in the annual auction—silent and live! Whether you’re just starting an art collection, need something to dress your walls or want to add a piece to your already stellar compilation, there is something for everyone.
Here is a look at some of the artwork that will be featured on Saturday. Take note!
B. Jeannie Fry – acrylic collage on paper and canvas
“Will to Run, Will to Win”
Barry Thomas – oil on canvas
“Village scene”
Vicki Hendrix Siebenmorgen – oil on canvas
“I Dream of Sailing”
The silent auction will begin at 6:30 p.m. and close at 9 p.m., while the live auction will get started at 7:30 p.m. in The Rep auditorium with auctioneer Thomas Blackmon. The Rep is planning something a little different for the silent auction this year—we are using Bidpal. So, have your cell phones charged and ready to bid!
