As you may or may not recall, my work was chosen to be included in the SAIC alumni show this year!
It’s a fun fundraising auction event where the proceeds benefit the school’s scholarship fund. The show is held in SAIC’s well-known Sullivan building off South State in Chicago. Artists either donate their work outright or create a piece on the spot. It’s a very exciting event.
Since I’d missed Chicago, and more than I even realized, we flew out for the show. My work, Garlic Clementine,
excitingly sold for half-again as much as it had been listed for at buy-out! In the last seconds of the auction count-down, two woman were actually shouldering each other to outbid on my piece! It was very exciting! I’m so grateful. That made my already fantastic night that much better!
Here are some pictures from the show!
A wonderful show all together!
Chicago was such a fantastic place for me. I hope to go back every year in the Fall!
