BATESVILLE, IN — The Batesville Area Arts Council’s 32nd annual art auction is scheduled for February 11 at Walhill Farm.
The auction is BAAC’s sole fundraiser, with proceeds used to support the arts council’s nationally-recognized Arts in Education Program.
Each year, BAAC donates $40,000 to six local schools to bring in visiting authors, illustrators, and artists of varied mediums to work in the schools. This innovative program enables local teachers to use the arts to bring school curriculum to life for students, in all areas of study.
Additional funds go into the community to bring in popular programs such as Umbrella Sky, Winter Wonder, and the Star-Spangled Symphony.
Doors will open at 6 pm to begin the silent auction, mingling, and appetizers.
The live auction and program begin at 7:15 and FIVE Lights play from 8 until 11 pm.
It is recommended that tickets be purchased early since the event frequently sells out.
There will also be an online silent auction for those who cannot attend in person.
Everyone is encouraged to sign up at: one.bidpal.net/baac2022/welcome.
