The Silent Auction

This event is a fundraiser for the Print and Picture Collection. All artwork in the auction has been donated by the artist or a collector. This is a marvelous opportunity to purchase outstanding artwork at very reasonable prices.

Today the Print and Picture Collection relies heavily on donations of artists' work to build our collections, but we would like to be able to continue the example set by Mr. Looney of supporting local artists by buying their work. The Print and Picture Collection has no endowment and is given a very small acquisitions budget by the Library Foundation, so money raised at the Looney event will help with acquisition of art and the purchase of conservation materials.
