The Inlet Public Library invites all library, art, wildlife and party lovers to a special wildlife art auction on Tuesday, July 8 from 5 to 7 p.m.
The event, a library fundraiser, includes a blind silent bid of 30 limited edition fine art prints from the collection of library benefactor, the late Scott Stuart, wine and hors d’oeuvres.
There will also be a raffle for a highly-prized artist’s proof, Teddy McBear, by late wildlife artist Vivi Crandall.
An auction of a portion of the wildlife art collection of the late Scott Stuart held in support of the Inlet Public Library on July 9 was a tremendous success, according to library board member and event organizer Reggie Chambers. Enough funds were raised to make the library’s furnace replacement initiative a reality, she said.
