Popular Fundraiser, Signed, Sealed & Delivered Returns with a New Format

The popular fundraising art sale and event for collectors and enthusiasts returns to Silvermine Arts Center, located in New Canaan, CT in October.  Returning for the 12th year, Signed, Sealed & Delivered will have an exciting new format, appealing to all art admirers, whether you are beginning or expanding your collection.  The fundraising event will be held on Saturday, October 5th from 5pm to 7pm with wine and hors d’oeuvres at $35 per person.

 

Signed, Sealed & Delivered is a wonderful opportunity to purchase original works of art by Silvermine Guild artists, School of Art Faculty and invited internationally known artists.  Now patrons will have two ways to collect:  In addition to the original 4” x 6” paintings, prints, photographs and collages, new this year will be original 10” x 10” art works.  The 4” x 6” works of art are still $50 each.  When you buy three, you get the fourth free!  The 10” x 10” works of art on wood panels will be raffled during the evening, with raffle tickets at $100.  Raffle tickets will be drawn one at a time and patrons will then pick one of the 10” x10” artworks in order of number selected.  At the end of the raffle, all remaining pieces will be available for purchase at $200 each.

Unlike the ‘mystery’ of purchasing the 4” x 6” works of art where the artist is not known until after purchase, the 10” x 10” pieces will not be anonymous and will be exhibited in advance of the fundraising event, in the Borglum Gallery, from the September 15th gallery opening reception for the new exhibits to the October 5th Signed, Sealed & Delivered party.  The art work will also be posted on the arts center website.  Some of the artists who will be participating include, Alberta Cifolelli(Westport, CT), Roxanne Faber Savage (Fairfield, CT), Fran Henry Meehan (Southport, CT), Marty Kreme (Pound Ridge, NY)r, Erin Nazzaro (Georgetown, CT), DeAnn Prosia (Newtown, CT), James Reed (Bridgeport, CT), Susan Sharp (Easton, CT), Anita Soos (Guilford, CT) and Marjorie Tomchuck (New Canaan, CT).  New this year, the fundraising event will only be held on the Saturday and be the one and only opportunity to collect original works of art from your favorite artist, or discover someone new!  All proceeds from the event will benefit gallery exhibitions and programs at Silvermine.  All purchases are tax free during this fundraising event.
