YACHATS — Yachats’ downtown light posts are festooned with 33 original art banners and they’ll all be up for auction Saturday evening.
In a gala silent and live auction (with an online Zoom option), the original works, now visible along U.S. Highway 101, will be put up for bid. Proceeds help fund next year’s banner project as well as art supplies for Waldport High School and monthly “Open Mic” nights at Yachats Community Presbyterian Church.
Saturday evening’s event will take place in Yachats Commons from 5-7 p.m. An artists’ reception begins at 5 p.m., followed by the silent and live auctions, with beer, wine and food available.
Each canvas banner is approximately 18 by x 48 inches and was created under the theme “Yachats Sings.” Now in its seventh year, the project is coordinated by Yachats artist Michael Guerriero, with sponsorship and assistance from Polly Plumb Productions. The full banner array can be viewed on the Polly Plumb website.
In February, raw, primed canvas banners were distributed to area volunteer artists, who applied their designs with acrylic paints and the banners hung in July.
Previous years’ banner notecards, printed by Guerriero, are available at the Yachats Chamber office/Visitors Center in the C&K Market plaza.
The Saturday evening auction can be attended online via Zoom. Anyone encountering technical issues may send an email to Meredith Howell at meredithleehowell@gmail.com
