2010 Auction Saturday, June 12, 2010, Marriott Ballroom VI Live Auction: 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm Silent Auction: First silent table closes at 5:15 pm (tables continue to close every 15 minutes) Preview Friday, June 11, 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm Saturday, June 12, 9:00 am - 6:00 pm The GAS Auction has become one of the highlights of the annual conference, and we hope you consider donating a piece of your artwork, goods or services. Your donation helps subsidize student fees and keeps all registration fees affordable. Expected to be one of the largest GAS auctions ever, with many donors and buyers, it will also be a great opportunity for exposure of your work. The evening begins with the the ever-popular Silent Auction. For the Live Auction that follows, 25 pieces will be selected from works created by 2010 Louisville Conference presenters and GAS Board members. Five additional surprise pieces will be included in the Live Auction, selected from the items donated by other member artists to the Glass Art Society. This year, donating artists have the choice to give 100% to GAS, or to receive 10%, 25% or 40% of the selling price. Your donation will be on exhibit throughout the conference and acknowledged in the 2010 Glass Art Society Journal. How to Donate:The GAS Auction is open to all glass artists and suppliers; you do not need to be a member of GAS. All artwork must be designed by the artist. You do not have to attend the conference to donate, and donating work is a great way to support GAS if you are not able to attend! Hand-Delivered Donations: Donations
will be accepted in the Marriott Grand Ballroom VII at the following times:

shall be entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise disposal of the work
as we deem appropriate after this date.
