QUICK FINISH ARTISTS

Dear Friends: Thank you for bearing with us as we transition the Yellowstone Art Auction online. Your support is needed more now than ever before as we pull through this COVID era and move forward with what you have come to love as the art event of the year. We continue to expanded the opportunities for patrons to experience and buy great art again this year. Take advantage of your chance to view all of the art online and in person by making an appointment. The goal is to provide patrons with a safe and relaxed atmosphere and the ability to acquire art. While financially supporting the YAM, you are also helping to expand the careers of many artists from the region and beyond. We thank the many generous and fantastic artists who donate their work to help us create an outstanding event. Be sure to say thank you to the many generous artists for their time and talent when you see them in person or virtually on their social media pages. We extend our heartfelt and enthusiastic thanks to many people who make the Yellowstone Art Auction possible:  Our generous Auction Sponsors who make this event a thriving success.  250+ Artists who submitted over 800 works for consideration this year. Each artist donates 50% – 100% of the proceeds from the sale of their work, making the Yellowstone Art Auction our most significant annual fundraiser.  The dedicated committee of community members, led by Bess Lovec, who spent hours of their time to carefully select the pieces for the live and silent auctions.  Our many volunteers, committee members, and advertisers, without whom we would not have an auction.  The entire YAM team for all of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making this event a success. Most importantly, we thank all of you! Whether this is your 53rd Yellowstone Art Auction or your first, we could not do this without your dedication and support. Bid often, bid high, and most of all bid victoriously…and share the auction link with your friends and family so we may continue our fundraising success. Thank you again for helping us make this the extraordinary (online) social event of the year!
