Art Benefit Auction for the Sam & Adele Golden Foundation for the Arts!
The Sam and Adele Golden Foundation will be celebrating its 20th anniversary with an art benefit auction. There will be over 180 works of art available for sale, generously donated by artists, artists in residence, and the Golden family. Although you may not be able to join on August 12 for the LIVE and SILENT auctions, Golden invites you to participate in the ONLINE auction. Visit Paddle 8 (link below) now to preview the selection of art, and the value of the artworks. On July 31, the auction site opens for two weeks, with the addition of revealing beginning bid prices. The ONLINE auction closes August 14. All proceeds from the sales of the auctions will be used to grow the endowment, for sustainability of the program and for financial assistance to the artists in residence.

The Golden Foundation is a not for profit organization which supports artists working in paint. Its residency sessions run for 4 weeks at a time, February through November. Artists spend much of their time experimenting with the latest paint materials and technology available to the industry today. Visit www.goldenfoundation.org for more information about the Golden Foundation. And if you find yourself in beautiful upstate New York, stop by and see the residency barn, a restored 100 year old barn with studios and living space.
