2016 Attleboro Arts Museum Annual Auction

The annual auction was held early in November. It is always a grand affair and always interesting to me to note what sells and for how much. As in the past several years I donated two pieces. They were displayed in the Online/Silent auction area. Both sold, one for $100, the other for $200. I think I now have somewhat of an idea of what the public likes and how much they pay. However, as for what judges deem as good, that's somewhat more of a mystery. My course at the Cape Cod show was very helpful, but judging is a subjective endeavor.

2016 Attleboro Arts Museum Members Exhibit

The Members' exhibit will have its awards reception from 2-4 pm on Saturday, December 10. I counted approximately 200 artists in the mix. Wow! I imagine there will be abut 300 pieces or more to judge. From the work I have seen of the New Bedford-based judge, I don't think this will be my breakthrough exhibit in Attleboro where I achieve a thing. There are a number of monetary-type awards to be handed out and some honorable mentions. My entries for Taunton earlier and this one are identical.
