Gateway's Maine Bicentennial Art Project Auction

Gateway Milbridge created the Maine Bicentennial Art Project through grant funding received for art projects in Washington County. The program is based on using 19 wooden cutouts that have been adopted by area artists.

Participating artists include: Janie Snider, Maeve Perry, Karen Schevenieus, Heidi Beal, Ora Aselton, Joanne Halpin, Anthony Surratt, Reneen Freeman, Ken Graslie, Francie Shepherd, Jean Driscoll, Heidi Huckins, Dawn Rachael Dow, Jennifer Kearns, Hazel Carter, Helga Frenner, Kayla Pinkham, Casey Openshaw, and Morgan Look.

The artists used their amazing styles and talents to create beautiful artistic designs for each piece based on the theme, “All Things Maine” in celebration of the Maine Bicentennial. These pieces are meant for indoor use and are truly stunning works of art. They measure 36 inches tall and 24 inches wide. They are certain to make beautiful additions to any home.

Proceeds from auctioning off the Bicentennial Art Pieces will go toward the rebuilding of the Milbridge Theatre as a full service Community Arts Center.

HOW TO BID:
The minimum opening bid for each piece is $100, and the minimum bid increment is $10.

Bidding opens at 8am on Wednesday, August 5th and will stop at 8pm on Tuesday, August 11th.

The bidding process on this site is similar to how ebay works.

ONLINE BIDDING:
Via this site, you have two options for bidding.
1) You can place manual “exact” bids.
2) You can also set a maximum “proxy” bid, and the site will automatically bid for you, in increments of $10 above the last highest bid, up to the maximum amount of the proxy bid limit you set.
