Bascom in Highlands plans annual Autumn Leaves auction
This original painting by Steenhuis, an American-born acclaimed Cezanne specialist who lives with her French husband and three sons in Southern France, will go to one lucky bidder at The Bascom's Autumn Leaves Gala, Oct. 2.
Four tickets to the Rome Chamber Music Festival’s opening night gala and concert on June 6, 2010, plus four tickets to an additional performance during the June 7-10, 2010, festival run, will go to one lucky bidder. The Festival has played to full houses of chamber music enthusiasts from around the world and has received brilliant reviews every year since its inception in 2003. The Rome Chamber Music Festival is endorsed by the Embassies of the United States of America to Italy and to the Holy See, as well as the City of Rome and the Italian Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
Another lucky bidder will win an original painting by Steenhuis, an American-born acclaimed Cezanne specialist who lives with her French husband and three sons in Southern France. Her studio at the Chateau Noir from 1981 to 1995 is where Post Impressionist painter Paul Cezanne had his studio for 30 years, and her paintings are collected internationally.
“Every year, The Bascom holds an Autumn auction to benefit the exhibition and education programming at the nonprofit visual arts center, and every year, the items are better and better. But this year, the items are off the charts,” said Beth Nellis, event chair. “Imagine yourself and three friends in the Eternal City enjoying masterworks performed by world-renowned musicians. Then imagine an incredible French landscape taking up residence on your mantle. Come to the Autumn Leaves Gala, and you can have all of this and more.”
Held at The Farm at Old Edwards Inn, the Autumn Leaves Gala also features a seated dinner from Executive Chef Johannes Klapdohr, as well as wine and spirits. Dozens of live and silent auction items will be available for bid.
Tickets to the Auction Gala are $225 each. For tickets to the Friday, Oct. 2, Auction Gala or its sister event, the casual Saturday, Oct. 3, Autumn Leaves Party ($35), visit www.thebascom.org/autumnleaves or call (828) 526-4949, ext. 4. Combination tickets for both nights are $250.
