Join Newspring for their sixth annual student art auction, which will feature over 50 pieces of artwork from talented Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD) art students.
“Newspring provides a venue for talented, low-income and minority students to recognize and strengthen their talents while learning how art can be part of a future story that includes post-secondary success,” says Linda Buchman, SBISD Community Relations Officer.
Through the student art auction, Newspring hopes to provide Spring Branch art students an opportunity to discover potential career opportunities in the arts, as well as to encourage them to stay in school. 100% of proceeds go directly to the student artists in the form of college savings funds and gift cards. Students have earned over $60,000 through previous Newspring auctions. Online bidding is now open, and will continue until May 1st. Additional bids will be taken in silent auction format on May 2nd. Framing for the artwork is provided by Bradley’s Art & Frame and Framecrafters.
The Newspring Art Auction is a free event that is open to the public. Bidding at BeHUMAN Gallery begins at 6:00 PM and will continue until 8:30 PM. Hor d’oeuvres will be served, and beverages will be available.
