I hope you are all enjoying our sudden spring. I hope it gets the creative juices

would be wonderful for you to choose how you want to help, rather than get an
assignment.
I hope your minds our whirring with ideas
for the fair theme, 'Mooovin' and Grooovin',
and I am excited to see what you come up
with. Keep creating...

Crocker Art Museum Big Names, Small Art (BNSA)
will be held Thursday evening, May 18. This event features a silent auction of small-scale art (all pieces are 12”x12” or less). All bids begin at $25 regardless of the work’s market value. This low entry bid creates an environment of fast-paced, friendly competition.
One hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds from sales of BNSA art benefits the Crocker Art Museum’s education programs and exhibitions.
Participating BNSA artists are invited to attend BNSA as guests of the Museum with complimentary entrance and drink tickets for
two. We hope you will join us to enjoy this festive party and meet the patrons purchasing your work.
The Crocker Art Museum’s Art Auction Season is a highly anticipated Sacramento tradition. Both BNSA and Art Auction enjoy broad exposure and provide excellent opportunities to attract collectors. The success of the auctions depends on the generosity of artists,
like you, whose support allows the Crocker Art Museum to continue to connect people in unexpected ways with art, ideas, each oth-er and the world around them.
To participate in Big Names, Small Art, click here to complete the donation form by Monday, May 1. Art drop off for Art Auction and BNSA will be held May 5 and 6.
