Oxford, MS- The Yoknapatawpha Art Council will hold the first ever Silence is Golden: Auction for the Arts on Saturday February 10th at the Powerhouse. “Silence is Golden” is a silent auction benefitting the Oxford School District’s art programs. It is also the grand finale to the Art Council’s Save the Arts Campaign.
The Invitation only event will consist of a dinner, live music and of course, a silent auction. The event will raise $50 per plate in addition to the revenue from all items donated to the auction. An Ole Miss Football jersey signed by the 2011 team, 3 paintings from local artist Johnny Painter, and a 2008 presidential debate banner will be just a few of the items available.
“This has been a great process for everyone involved. We have been preparing for this auction for more than six months. We are ready to see it succeed,” YAC director Wayne Andrews said on Wednesday.
Save the Arts was officially launched on October 1st with the Square Museum fundraiser that rose over $5000 for Oxford School District.
“It is just incredible to see all of this come together. A few months ago it was just a project for my Journalism class,” campaign creator Scott Fuller said.
