All pre-bids will be used as starting bids at the live auction. Make plans to attend to increase your bids during the live auction event. There will be no online bidding offered during the live event. Come visit the Grand Hotel Ballroom to view the creative work using pieces-parts of pianos, chairs, and wood. Local artist have been challenged to collect, from the festival organizers, parts from pianos or chairs and create their own new form and shape. This year’s challenge is wood, specifically the wood harvested from our hometown square. Wood workers have selected their “choice” pieces and are currently manipulating and transforming raw boards into beautiful pieces of art. All artworks will be on display at The Grand Hotel for all to see. An added activity will be an auction. All the artwork created through the challenge will be up for bid. Half of the proceeds will go to the artist with the remaining half returning to the festival. Come and see new and fresh ideas from the challenge. You will be impressed!
