Prelude The Silent Auction Committee has gathered a truly dazzling array of items for your consideration. Please, familiarize yourself with the offerings on the following pages and come prepared to bid on your favorite item the evening of the gala.

At its essence, The Bascom plants seeds of encouragement, inspiration, and opportunity in the minds and hearts of children, teens, and adults who are either artists or thinking about pursing art in one of its many

iterations. The Bascom opens doors by enabling people to explore their interests, find their media, meet others with similar aspirations, and gain the courage and skills to pursue their passions.

To accomplish this, The Bascom depends largely on our community's support. Concert and Cuisine is The Bascom's signature gala event, providing key support to The Bascom's program and operating expenses each year.
