The North Carolina Museum is requesting original works of art to be considered for inclusion in Art of the Auction, a silent and live auction event to be held Saturday, April 14, 2012. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Museum exhibitions and programs.
All categories of art will be accepted for consideration including paintings, pottery, sculpture, mixed media, textiles, and jewelry. Artist submissions will be juried by a panel of professional experts. The jury will select one work of art as Best in Show. The artist whose work is awarded Best in Show will receive $3,000 from the North Carolina Museum of Art Foundation, Inc., and the Best in Show work of art will be included in the Art of the Auction’s live auction on April 14.
The works of art selected for Art of the Auction will be displayed in East Building for public viewing beginning the evening of Friday, March 30, 2012, at the celebratory Auction Preview. They will be offered to the public through a silent auction powered by BidPal at the April 14 Auction. For details and the application form, visit the museum’s information page.
