Dear Member Artist,

We hope this note finds you well.

As we prepare for another exciting summer at Rockport Center for the Arts, we are beginning plans for our annual Art Auction Gala and Festival weekend happening July 3-5—one of the most anticipated and impactful moments of the year for our organization.

We are reaching out to invite you to consider donating a piece to this year’s auctions. The artwork shared through these events plays a meaningful role in their success, while also offering a wonderful opportunity to showcase the talent and creativity that define our artistic community.

Each year, the auctions bring together collectors, supporters, and new audiences who are eager to engage with and invest in original work. Your participation not only helps support RCA’s exhibitions, classes, and free youth programs, but also places your work in front of an enthusiastic and appreciative audience.

If you have a piece you would like to contribute, we would be honored to include it. We also welcome unique and thoughtfully curated items that reflect your creativity and perspective and would resonate with our patrons. We kindly ask that all donations have a minimum fair market value of $100.

Donations may be delivered to the Art Center during normal business hours at your convenience. Our team will be happy to assist you when you arrive.

Thank you for all that you do to help make Rockport such a vibrant and inspiring arts community. We are truly grateful for your continued involvement and support.

With appreciation,

Karen Ernst

Executive Director

Rockport Center for the Arts
