Blyth Festival supporters are launching the second online art auction in support of the Festival.
Co-ordinator, Laurel Armstrong says the first online Art Auction raised almost seventeen-thousand dollars. Armstrong explains, the auction is open to artists throughout Midwestern Ontario and the invitation has already gone out to artists who are asked to submit their art on a ten-inch by ten-inch canvass.
“They enter by going online to the Blyth Festival’s web site. They can also go to Huron County library branches, there are information papers there. They can go to Elizabeth’s Art Gallery in Goderich and pick up the forms,” says Armstrong.
Armstrong says the artists are being asked to let them know by September 24th if they’re going to participate.
“They need to tell us by September 24th that they’re going to participate and then submissions will be in October and then the auction gallery goes live on November 1st and the bidding starts and it closes on December the 1st,” Armstrong adds.
Armstrong says more information about the online auction can be found on the Blyth Festival web site.
