50th Silent Auction
For 50 years the WVCAC has fostered & promoted the Arts in our community. We could not have done so without the support of our members, volunteers, local businesses & patrons of the Arts.
To get us ready for the next 50 years we hosted a Silent Auction fundraiser! For 4 days the public was able to bid on an extraordinary array of items; everything from stunning works of art & thrilling one-of-a-kind experiences, to luxurious gift baskets & gift cards from local retailers!
The Silent Auction ran from July 10th to 14th, closing at 9m, in the Silk Purse Arts Centre. We are grateful to everyone who placed a bid, which will help us continue to connect our community through the Arts.
We truly appreciate all of the wonderful donors for their generosity in providing the amazing auction items.
