LHAF PURCHASE AWARD COLLECTION
The Lyndon House Arts Foundation’s Purchase Award Collection features paintings, fabric art, and photography created by talented local artists who submitted works to the Lyndon House Arts Center’s Juried Shows between 2002 and 2009. The objective of the Foundation’s purchases was to recognize and support our local artists.
It is inspiring that most of these artists have remained in the Athens area, are well-known within the community, and continue to produce outstanding works and exhibits throughout the county and region. Many of the artists have expanded their reach well beyond the Georgia borders. Over the years, this collection has been displayed at the LHAC and the Classic Center of Athens.
DEACCESSION OF PURCHASE AWARDS
The Foundation has been proud to own this collection, benefit local artists and share the collection in local venues around Athens. Regrettably, we are unable to provide a permanent home for this collection and have decided to offer each piece for individual purchase.
To accomplish this, a silent auction is being conducted. By purchasing works of art you benefit as the new owner while supporting the Foundation’s fundraising efforts and mission to support the LHAC and to provide arts education to local residents. We look forward to seeing each creation move into its own special home.
Consider the benefits of owning one of these artworks for your home or office or as a gift to someone special, while helping support the Foundation’s mission.
The exhibition of Purchase Awards can be viewed at the Lyndon House Arts Center through November 17. For your convenience, the same information is provided below.
