You can easily pick up a framed, matted and stunning unique work of art for between $400-$1500. Because all the materials are donated the art usually goes for an unusually low amount below market value. This auction will have over 200 works from art from many established and new artists – each room of art being different from the next, oils, photography, watercolor, prints – surely you will find something in the size and style that is appealing to you?
