Birmingham
Art Educators Host Silent Auction at Avondale Brewing Company
Guests
will support professional development workshops by bidding on local and
national artists’ work, among other items.
Birmingham—The Birmingham Art
Education Association is hosting a silent auction at Avondale Brewing Company (201 41st
Street South, Birmingham) 5-8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 15 to fund its professional
development workshops for art teachers throughout central Alabama. This auction,
open to the public, will include original artwork and other local business
offers.
“With this event, we are hoping to
establish a better grassroots connection with art patrons and would-be patrons
of Birmingham, which makes Avondale Brewing an excellent venue,” said Lindsay
Mouyal, a BAEA representative and participating artist. “The professional
development activities that this event helps fund will impact our ability to
develop the next generation of Alabama artists.” Past workshops have included
topics such as the use of assessments in art education, cross-content
connections through arts integration, teacher-tested art lesson plans and glass
fusing with kilns.
Items for bid at the silent auction
will include the following: original artwork by local and national artists,
such as Jessie Rau, Sharon Christman and Becky Guinn; gift certificates to
local restaurants and businesses; museum memberships; and more.
Daniel George Restaurant, of
Mountain Brook, will serve refreshments during the event, and Avondale Brewing
Company will open their private upstairs bar. Admission will be free, but
bidders should make sure and bring cash or checks—the only accepted forms of
payment for the auction.
