Naples Public Library annual art auction fundraiser is July 27

NAPLES — The Naples Public Library will hold its annual art auction Saturday, July 27.
The event will begin at 6 p.m. with a silent auction and the live auction will be at 7 pm.. The event is at the American Legion Post 155, 26 Casco Road.
Notable artists from the area have shared their talents decorating creature habitats (birdhouses, bat houses, and the like) generously donated by Jim Turpin of Coveside Conservation Products in Casco.
Bidding will be lively for these colorful masterpieces, perfect for any property or as a thoughtful, locally sourced and handcrafted gift. Donations from Dick Anzelc, Joy Barnes, Andrea Dacko, Kate Komich, Brenda McGuinness and many other masterful souls are now on display in the library. Artistry and motifs include scenery of the Maine coast, Frye’s Leap, the Songo River Queen II and a medley of northeastern flora and fauna, depicted in framed photography, original framed artwork and a collection of beautiful wooden footstools.
A cash bar, hors d’oeuvres and live music will lighten the atmosphere, as revelers enjoy door prizes, sparkling company, and the excitement of winning an incredible piece of art. The variety of items warrants hosting both a live and silent auction. Libraries across our nation rely heavily on fundraising ventures.
