Art Garage Holding Auction Sept. 21

The following is a press release from the Mt. Airy Art Garage:

Mark those calendars because the Mt. Airy Art Garage's 4th Annual Silent Auction is back and better than ever on Saturday, September 21st from 6-10 pm at their home on 11 W. Mt. Airy Avenue.

This year’s Silent Auction will showcase the diverse work of MAAG’s emerging and professionalartists. The Gallery will feature both 2 and 3-dimensional work ranging from painting, photography, mosaic, jewelry, quilts and fiber art, woodwork, found objects, and more. Work has been donated from over 45 local member artists including Sarah Bond, Ellen Benson, Sara Steele, Diana Trout, and Andrea Abrams Herbert (jewelry), and Claudia McGill.

In addition to an array of artwork, the silent auction will also feature gift certificates as well as services and classes by artists, experts in their disciplines. Each year, the auction expands its array of fine art and handcrafts and attracts an even more incredible crowd of artists and art-lovers. This year’s no exception.

We encourage you to preview the auction work. So, while you “Sip, Savor, and Stroll” at the Street Fare, hosted by Mt. Airy USA on September 19th from 6-10 PM, be sure to stop by MAAG for a special, free sneak peek!

So, join MAAG on Saturday, September 21st, for our most fabulous evening of friends, fun, and incredible art. Plus, with live music by Andy Trackman, Dave Kutzik, and Gaille Hunter, from live jazz to klezmer from Objective Perspective – as well as catered food and drink from local and citywide restaurants – who can resist art for such a good cause?

2013 has been a banner year for the MAAG, and 2014 boasts even more amazing things to come – a city-wide quilt show, a local film series, live music, numerous exhibitions, and much more. And it your support that makes MAAG a showcase for the arts in Northwest Philadelphia. All proceeds from this very special event will benefit the Mt. Airy Art Garage’s sustainability.

Silent Auction tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door.
