The Baum School of Art auction goes virtual

The annual Baum School of Art auction is going virtual this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Executive Director, Shannon Fugate, joined Karin and Bo virtually Saturday morning to express the differences in this year’s event and how an online platform could potentially attract more bidders.

«That’s our hope, it’s that folks that maybe wouldn’t have normally come to the event, might log on,» Fugate says. «Folks that haven’t participated in the in-person event find this — particularly with the coronavirus situation — find it more appealing to be able to just watch from their phones.»

The Baum School of Art has art pieces available from regional artists, local artists, and also faculty members.

The 35th annual art auction will take place starting Sunday, July 26 at 12:00 a.m. and run through Saturday, August 1 at 10:00 p.m.
