So, a few of my artists who said they would donate artwork didn't follow through with their donations. The weird part is that I don't mind that much. If I was still scrambling to find artwork, then I think I'd be more disappointed. But, as James predicted, people have actually been pretty generous in what they've given. For example, a painting I acquired yesterday retails for $800.00. It's a good painting too!
In fact, the details are coming together. I still have a bunch of things to print out, such as the bidding sheets. I still have to prepare some of the artwork for hanging. I could use a bit more help with people donating food for the auction and a few people to help with tear down. I'm also a bit concerned about getting the internet at The Hub to support our credit card swiper. Otherwise, I think I've done everything I can possibly do to advertise for our event. At this point, about 75 people have RSVP'd yes. That's not the 200 I was aiming for, but you never know.
