​We are looking for special silent and live auction items that will make this year’s event the most successful ever!  Perhaps you have a beautiful home in a vacation destination that you could offer for a week, or access to an extraordinary event like a concert, theatre or ballet, or major sports event.  Maybe it's a spa package, a golf package, or a culinary event.  Any intriguing experience that would bring excitement to our auctions and help raise funds for the ArtQuest program and its students would be greatly appreciated.
