View Silent Auction – Buy it Now Artwork
This fall Baltimore Clayworks will celebrate 31 years as one of Maryland’s leading non-profit arts organizations and nationally recognized ceramic art center. It will take place Saturday, September 24, 2011 from 7-11PM at the American Visionary Arts Museum.
The 2011 Clay Ball Honorees are Samuel Wallace, potter, teacher and Baltimore Clayworks resident artist; and Connie Imboden, established photographer, MICA professor and president of the board of governors of the William G. Baker Jr. Memorial Fund. Both individuals are being recognized for their commitment, dedication and service to the community through the arts.
Included in the evening are silent and live auctions, live jazz music by The String Theory, and a seated dinner catered by Linwoods. The master of ceremonies is Baltimore Sun columnist, Dan Rodricks.
The live and silent auctions will showcase one-of-a kind art pieces and experiences as well as trips, specialty parties and our popular Year of Dining raffle. The art will range from one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces made from artists all around the country to oil paintings, artfully hand-designed jewelry, framed and recognized photographs and specialty textiles.
All proceeds from the event will help to provide core funding for the educational, artistic and collaborative programs at Baltimore Clayworks. Clayworks serves over 15,000 residents and visitors to Baltimore over the year from attendance as shows and exhibitions to students in classes and participants in our community arts satellite sites. The Clay Ball raises over $115,000 in operating support from ticket sales, sponsorships and proceeds from the auction.
Ticket prices are $175 per person.
