semantics benefit February 23rd

February 20th, 2012  |  Published in Announcements

Dear *semantics* supporters-

In August 2011, we tried to do something a little different with our annual fund-raiser.

We picked some of our favorite pieces to auction off live, it didn’t work. The only people at the ‘live’ auction were artists. We love our artists and supporters, but potential buyers were already ‘in bed’. Enough said.

We planned to try an “online auction”, but didn’t get it together. So now we are staging a great “last dance/ last chance auction”. We feel obligated to return the works back to the artists if the artworks don’t ‘sell’. These are some of the best artists in the region and beyond. They contributed work that is personal, creative, exciting and very well executed. They want to support semantics and we deeply appreciate their contributions.

So please join us on Thursday, February 23, 7-9 pm at *semantics* to bid on these really fantastic pieces of art created by really fantastic artists. Silent bidding begins at 7pm and will end at 8:30 pm. Bids will be accepted via e-mail at semanticsgallery@gmail.com from 7pm until 8:30 pm.

semantics needs funds to continue as an open, engaging, and provocative experimental space. A website is coming soon!

Thursday = February 23 = 7:00 pm = 9:00 pm

Artists include: Katie Parker,Guy Michael Davis, McCrystle Wood, Ryan Mulligan, Kate Kern, Denise Burge, Diane Fishbein, Celene Hawkins, Catherine Richards, Saad Ghosn, Matt Morris,Mary Barr Rhodes, Eric Ruschman, Lisa Jameson, Merlene Schain,Emil Robinson,
—Official *semantics* prints and T-Shirts by DIY Productions et al.!

Unsold pieces will be returned immediately following the auction and buyers names will be forwarded to the artists (for their files).

Thanks,
The semantics collective
