DETAILS:
Join us October 12th & 13th, 2007, at the Valley River Inn for our 8th Annual Art Glass Auction & Benefit Dinner. This is our largest fundraiser of the year, helping us to finance the high operating costs involved in running a nonprofit glass school. Your attendance and support help us to maintain and upgrade our facility and equipment so that we can continue to offer quality classes to the public. By purchasing an Auction ticket, you also help support the many artists who have chosen the Eugene Glass School as their location for premier art glass education!

There is nothing but wonder in the art of glass, and this year’s Auction promises to be filled with unforgettable moments. The night before the Auction at 6:30pm, you are invited to meet the donating artists and preview a spectacular array of glass art at the Valley River Inn. Join us at 7:30pm, as Emilio Santini, renowned glass artist, shares his view of the glass art world and its effect on his life. Also, don’t miss out on Emilio Santini’s FREE glass-blowing demonstration at the Eugene Glass School at 11am on Saturday, the day of the Auction!

On October 12th, you are cordially invited to join us for “An Exquisite Evening” at the Valley River Inn. Over 130 donated works of art by glass artists like Robert Mickelsen, and Hans & Karl Ittig, will be auctioned to benefit the Eugene Glass School, a nonprofit organization. This event begins at 5:30pm with the Silent Auction, followed by the Live Auction and Benefit Dinner at 7:30pm.

Emilio's demo on Saturday will great to see, and then having Mike Frantz as the auctioneer that night will be a hoot. Should be a good party.
