An April Fool’s Day art show reception and silent auction, featuring work by members of the Artists Guild of the Santa Ynez Valley, will highlight a number of works by serious artists. Now on display at Avant Tapas and Wine Bar, 35 Industrial Way in Buellton, are the works of 21 artists who created a variety of paintings, prints, and photographs.
Silent auction bids will be taken through April 1, with the final bidding to be held concurrent with the reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Art can also be purchased outright for the value of the work instead of going through the bidding process.
A percentage of the auction and sale will benefit the Artists Guild of the Santa Ynez Valley, a nonprofit open to Central Coast artists and arts supporters that works to promote artistic awareness in the community-at-large.
