Once a year, the local community art league conducts a fund raising event to which its members donate original works that are showcased at a gala evening reception and can be purchased at markedly discounted prices. This autumn, the BRC craftsman donated a “Bobcat” themed banjo to the annual “Patron`s Party” benefit.
All the donated art works are hung beforehand in the exhibit hall for ten days, so patrons have an opportunity to browse through the collection and prioritizing a purchasing agenda. Tickets are then bought by customers to attend the festive evening reception where they are scheduled into in a randomly generated round-robin time table to buy items via a Zoom format a few days later. All proceeds go to the art league.
During the gala Patrons` Party, members and guests closely study the “Bobcat” banjo while awaiting their placement in the round-robin buyers` schedule.
From the BRC: With the Holidays just around the corner, it’s a good occasion for bargain-hunting.
