August 12-13, 2011 The Penland School of Crafts Annual Benefit Auction is a gala weekend in the North Carolina mountains featuring the sale of more than 230 works in books, clay, drawing, glass, iron, letterpress, metals, painting, photography, printmaking, textiles, and wood. The Penland auction is one of the most important craft collecting events in the Southeast and a perfect opportunity to support Penland's educational programs, which have helped thousands of people to live creative lives.
The auctioneer for the weekend is Mark Oliver. Reservations are required. The event often sells out quickly; early reservations are recommended. Reservations will be accepted until available spaces are filled.
Absentee and phone bids are accepted for all auctions until noon on Friday, August 12, for a fee of $25 (includes catalog). All ticket purchasers and absentee bidders receive an illustrated catalog in July. Images of artwork and details about absentee bidding will be posted on our website in late June. Catalogs are available for $25.
Please return a reservation card to auction@penland.org or call 828-765-2359, ext. 30 for phone reservations. Electronic auction reservation card (Word)
