East Gloucester Elementary School Auction For The Arts March 26th!

East Gloucester Elementary School is holding an Auction for the Arts on March 26th from 7pm to 10:30pm at Cruiseport Gloucester. Tickets are $20 at the door. Proceeds will go toward a dedicated art room and expanded art programming at the school. The theme is inspired by Virginia Lee Burton, Cape Ann’s venerated children’s book author and designer, who lived and worked in Folly Cove.

Auction logo (above left) from an original drawing by Mary Rhinelander, inspired by Virginia Lee Burton’s “Little House”.

Further information:

EGS parents have organized a benefit auction for expanded art facilities and programming for their school. “When we realized that the budget for art at our school was less than $3 per student per year, we knew we had to act,” said auction committee member Nicole Bogin. Parents are hopeful that the proceeds will lay the groundwork for financing the building of a dedicated art room- “a space where kids can get immersed in long term projects and where community members can offer after school programs,” says Bogin..

The benefit, which includes both live and silent auctions, aims to pull together East Gloucester Elementary School’s resources. Says organizer Melanie Murray-Brown, “East Gloucester School is a place where art and community can come together. We’re drawing on Virginia Lee Burton for inspiration: she’s someone who embodied the merging of community, art, children and a sense of place.” Indeed, a dedicated “army” of parent volunteers, EGS teachers and staff, local artists, alumni, individuals and businesses as well as a donation from Cape Ann Savings Bank, have all come together to make this year’s auction both enjoyable and successful.

The auction includes unique items and experiences to bid on. There will be art and classes featuring local artists, writers and film-makers; gift certificates to local shops and restaurants; memberships to local organizations; and many surprises. Murray-Brown notes that there “is something for everyone — sail trips, oil deliveries, art.” Live music by Wheelhouse, delicious food provided by Duckworth Beach Gourmet and Turner’s Seafood, as well as lively banter from auctioneer Senator Bruce Tarr, promise to make this an entertaining evening. Please visit www.egscharityauction.blogspot.com for a preview of this exciting event.

Things To Do- East Gloucester Elementary School Auction

Auction

I went to the Blackwood/March auction last night at Woodman’s.  I am definitely not one of the big spenders, but I did get a nice sail boat etching for Mike for $15! I also picked up a persian rug and a turkish rug for the house, nothing too special, but great deals $20 and $40 respectively. Most of the items were from an estate on Annisquam, they had a lot of great paintings and etchings from Cape Ann artists that went from $100-$3,000. It’s really a great way to furnish a house for cheap, a lot of 10 antique chairs sold for $25.  There really is something there for everyone’s price range. Remember to bring cash or a MA check, and you pay 15% buyers premium and sales tax.

Art Haven Lobster Bouys Up For Auction

Here is the buoy that I so desperately wanted.  I was foiled though as I quickly realized that if I came home with a $200 lobster buoy that the Mrs would likely beat me over the head with it.

It was fun bidding though.  Video coming at 8:00AM

From Randy-

“Here is the deal.    I have two tickets for next Monday’s Bruins – Tampa Bay Lightning game.  To raise money for the Gloucester Fisherman Athletic Association (http://www.thegfaa.org/) , I am putting together a silent auction exclusively for GoodMorningGloucester readers.  These are great seats in Loge Section 13.  The face on the tickets is $85 and the opening minimum is $170.  100% of the purchase price will be going to the GFAA (you can make the check out directly to the organization for tax purposes).  Send me an email with your best offer and I will let you know what the current high bid is.  My email is eroneil@yahoo.com.  I will also make arrangements for payment and pick up either in downtown Boston or downtown Gloucester.  The auction ends Thursday night at 6PM.  Good Luck and Thanks Much.”

The Chamber Auction

I donated a link and three picture spread on GMG to the Cape Ann Chamber auction and it went for $200.

That money goes to the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce to help pay for the day to day operating expenses of running the organization and putting on all the fantastic events that the Chamber puts on each year.
