Saturday, June 8, 2013, starting at 7:00pm, the Calvert Library Foundation will host a live art auction at Calvert Library Prince Frederick, for the benefit of all Calvert Library system.  The gala auction will feature original, framed works of art provided by the professional New York art house of Arin Ross Auctions in partnership with Marlin Art Inc.  Art will be available for a wide range of preferences and prices, and will include sports and entertainment memorabilia -- all presented by an engaging, professional auctioneer.   An art door prize valued between $150 and $200 will be awarded to a ticket holder in attendance that night.   Gifts donated by local individuals and businesses will also be presented by the auctioneer.

 

Tickets are $15 dollars in advance, and $20 dollars at the door.   Free “Taste of the Region” hors d’oeuvres, musical entertainment, and wine tasting will be available for those in attendance, as well as a cash bar.  There will also be a fifty-fifty raffle.

 

Kip At Lee, President of the Foundation, observed, “Live, professional art auctions are an evening of fast-moving entertainment, and this promises to be among the best!  They’re good fun, whether you buy a work of art or not.” 

The doors will open at 7:00pm for refreshments and opportunity to review the art to be presented; the auction itself will start promptly at 8:00pm.  Credit and debit cards, checks and cash will be accepted.

 

All proceeds will benefit the Calvert Library, serving all the people of Calvert County.
