Hastings Arts Forum is holding its annual fundraiser. This is an auction stocked by gifts from Forum members. Traditionally this is a feast of good art-related items, mainly from our own artist members. As at any feast, there are going to be some riches at affordable prices. Dealers will be there looking for bargains and so will members of the public hoping to pick up a piece of “art” at a bargain basement price.
Items will be on display from Thursday 4 Feb and viewing is open to the public until 3 pm on Saturday. If you are unable to attend the auction but wish to buy, then you can lodge a bid with the Forum staff and place it in a sealed envelope. However, sealed bids must be received at the Forum desk by 2 pm on Sat 6 Feb.
The auction will be conducted by Richard Fryer, a professional auctioneer. All proceeds will go to the Hastings Arts Forum.
