 NEW - please bookmark this  Auction Index page on web site The 2010 Artists' Charitable Fund Charitable Auction was a  huge success - not only because the weather held up - though it sprinkled, it did not rain. ...and we raised $42,000! The live auction, which started at 7:00 pm, ended at 8:30 - earlier than usual. Either auctioneer George Lundeen was faster than usual or we had fewer items.

2009 Auction was a SUCCESS, in spite of the rain. Our annual art auction is held outdoors where the art is set up under cover of an amphitheater with the audience in chairs on the grassy hillside. However, about the time our 2009 auction was to start a horrendous thunder and lightning storm poured rain down on us! We frantically moved the audience and food on the covered stage with the art

The Artists’ Charitable Fund is very personal to me because several years ago when my husband, Brian Archibald, who was a wildlife stone and bronze sculptor was dying of cancer, the Charitable Fund paid $5,000 of his hospital bill.
