The 11th Annual Art Show benefiting Palliative & Supportive Care of Nantucket (PASCON) and the Marla Ceely Lamb Fund will be virtual this year at 32auctions.com. Because we are not hanging works at Quidley & Co. on Main Street, we are opening it up to mediums other than painting and photography.
This auction will still benefit both the artists and the nonprofits!
• Contribute one commission piece – receive 50% of the minimum bid, if sold
• Contribute one or two donated pieces – 100% of sale to charity.
Last year more than 50 artists participated and earned nearly $13,000 while at the same time raising over $40,000 for charity. Now more than ever we need your support to assure that palliative care can be provided to our island’s residents facing life-threatening illness.
Details:
• You must email your intent to participate by November 15th if you’d like to be listed on our website and in promotional materials.

If you will not be here and able to deliver a piece of art that has sold or have someone deliver for you, we regret that we will not be able to include your work. You are welcome to be in touch with Sharon Hussey to see if we may accommodate you in some way, but we make no guarantees.
