Vintage Art Auction - with a twist!

Vintage art lovers and vintage car lovers unite! A 1955 DeSoto is the newest addition to the items donated to our 3rd annual "Vintage 3" Art Auction being held tomorrow (Thursday, June 18) from 5:30-7:30 pm here at the YWCA on Quarrier Street in Charleston, WV.

The silent art auction will feature more than 180 pieces of original artwork including pieces by our event co-chairs Kemp McElwee and Susan Poffenbarger (picture on the left), June Kilgore, Paula Clendenin, Robert Hart, Carol Toth, William E. Reed, Betsy Johnson, Betty Warner, Steve Payne, Diane White and JoAnne Jacobs. Oils, watercolors, pastels, photography, sculpture, pottery - you name it! Click here for a sneak preview of some of our featured artwork. All at very attractive prices, there's something for nearly any budget. Plus, you'll enjoy a lively social evening complete with music, wine and delicious hors d’oeuvres. It’s guaranteed to be a great party – and we hope you find that perfect piece while you’re at it!

After the silent art auction concludes, the live auction of the 1955 DeSoto will begin promptly at 7:30 with only a $500 minimum bid. All proceeds from Vintage 3 will benefit the YWCA’s social service programs and will be matched dollar for dollar through the $2 Million Challenge campaign. A minimum $25 donation is requested and pre-registration is encouraged but not required.
