| We are requesting that each attendee at the conference bring one, two or more "suitcase-size" art works to the conference, and these objects will be placed in a silent or live auction on Friday afternoon at the Renaissance M Street Hotel. The same requests apply as in the past [see below]. Please bring or mail information about your objects, including artist’s name, home town, medium, size, etc.
***Please note: If you are planning to mail your items, regardless of size, please send them by UPS, FedEx or USPO to the attention of Betty-Carol Sellen, 6036 Parker’s Creek Drive, Deale, MD 20751, between September 1 and September 15. Please include the above information (artist’s name, home town, medium, size) for each object.*** The Folk Art Society will not accept donated objects with a reserve or minimum bid, and all donated objects will be sold regardless of price achieved. The Folk Art Society does not guarantee that the auction sale price will meet donor expectations or suggested price range. The list of donors will appear in a subsequent issue of the Folk Art Messenger. These donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and each donor will receive a receipt for the auction selling prices. Note: A portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Herbert W. Hemphill Jr. Memorial Art Fund, which purchases an art work each year for donation to a museum or university. This is the Folk Art Society’s only fund-raising event each year; its success depends on your generous contributions and participation. |

| A packer and shipper will be available at the hotel to handle your purchases immediately following the auction. All auction items must be picked up at the conclusion of the auction, and the Folk Art Society assumes no responsibility for them.
