Today is the start of Week 2 of the SAQA Benefit Auction, the biggest fundraiser of the year for Studio Art Quilt Associates,  the premier nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt through education, exhibitions, professional development, documentation and publications. SAQA’s outstanding advocacy for textile artists is instrumental in making it possible for many of us to bring our work to the wider world.

The auction is a fine venue for acquiring a great piece of art work while supporting this organization. Prices will start at $750 each today at 2:00 pm EST. Note: If you have a favorite artist, you’d better be ready. The most well-known artists’ pieces are gone within seconds. Prices drop to $550 at noon tomorrow, then $350 the following day, etc. But if you wait, you might not get the one you’ve got your eye on!

Please support SAQA by taking a look.
