Support Red Brick art auction
Dear Editor:
On Saturday, June 28, the Red Brick Council for the Arts will have its annual art auction and fundraiser. Festivities start at noon and bidding closes at 3:30 p.m. Viewing and prebidding of art starts June 23. Saturday includes a picnic, art demonstrations and music by the Aspen Music Festival and School and Smuggler Mountain Bluegrass Band.
We ask that you support your local arts council and help it reach its goal of finding a home for the 160 art and business items that have been donated. This auction is affordable for everyone. Funds raised help ArtStart, the kids’ art show; Art Reach, free community workshops; the Red Brick art scholarship program; the summer sculpture garden; and the Red Brick Gallery. The council also manages the Red Brick Center for the Arts for the city of Aspen.
