The Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council (GO ART!) invites the community to participate in a special two week silent auction beginning Saturday, September 19, and concluding with a closing reception on Saturday, October 3, from 5–8 PM.
This fundraiser emerged from an unexpected change in GO ART!’s September exhibition schedule, which opened two gallery spaces and created a wonderful opportunity to showcase a curated collection of fine arts and crafts specifically donated by local artists and collectors for our GO BARN! auction fundraiser.
All proceeds will support the GO Barn! project—GO ART!’s transformational initiative to expand arts access, programming, and community space in Genesee and Orleans counties.
To date, GO ART! has secured approximately $7,859,493 in grant funding toward the GO Barn! project. While this represents significant progress, additional fundraising is essential. The silent auction offers community members a chance to enjoy original artwork while helping us move one step closer to making GO BARN! a reality, for which we are incredibly grateful.
The closing reception on October 3 will feature the final bidding window from 5:00 to 7:30 PM. There is no cost for artists or guests to attend. To participate in the silent auction, register by obtaining a bidding number at the GO ART! gallery, located at 201 E. Main Street, Batavia, NY.
GO ART! warmly encourages residents, supporters, and art lovers to visit the galleries, place bids, and help bring the GO Barn! project closer to reality.
