ICON Gallery’s Biennial Art Auction showcases over 150 generously donated artworks, viewable either online or in the gallery, with final bidding on Wednesday, December 18, at 8 p.m. Minimum bids range from $15 to $500, with many items starting at $25 to $30. The artworks range from oils, acrylics, watercolors, and pastels, to photographs, prints, and reproductions. Realism, impressionism, expressionism, abstraction, and more styles are represented.
“The great thing about the art auction,” says ICON Director Bill Teeple, “is that you are not only giving needed financial support to ICON, but you are getting a beautiful work of art in the process. And with so many styles represented, there’s something for everyone.”
Artists include John Preston, Bill Teeple, Danielle Shier, Joanie McGinnis, Greg Thatcher, Elaine Duncan, Suanna Breed, Allen Cobb, Judy Bales, Wendy Stegall, David Rose, Jeri Felix, Ananda Kesler, Judy Bales, Irene Murphy, Rosemary Lucente, David Kupferman, Mark Zimmerman, David Orme-Johnson, Cris Soth, John Stimson, Care Connet, Susan Marcus, Donna Miller, Cindy Ballou, Caroline Larson, Bill Witherspoon, and many more. Prints and reproductions by famous artists are also part of the offering.
All bidding is online at Icon-Art.org, but the art can be seen in the gallery Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Bidding ends December 18 at 8 p.m.
“ICON is nonprofit gallery supported by local donations,” says Teeple. “The art auction is our main fundraiser. Donations from ICON members get us close, but it’s the biennial art auction that gets us across the finish line and keeps the doors open.”
ICON is located at 58 N. Main Street. For information, contact Bill Teeple at iconbillteeple@gmail or (641) 919-6252.
