We are honored to support Museum of Wisconsin Art by donating a weaving to their biennial signature fundraiser, Vintage 2018: Pedals, Plates, and Pours.

Proceeds of the auction go towards art education programs and museum operations. The auction takes place Saturday, July 14 from 6:00pm–10:00pm.

Unable to be there? They have remote bidding! The contemporary art auction will include a hand-spun wool weaving from Wence's Buffalo Robe series team-woven by Wence and daughter, Malena Martinez.

The weaving, Buffalo Robe Puntadas (2018), is pictured below. The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian has a Buffalo Robe by Wence in its permanent collection.

Works by Craig Blietz, Fred Stonehouse, and Beth Lipman will also be auctioned. If you are interested in participating by phone in the live auction, contact Heidi Wirth, Director of Development at MOWA, in advance to make arrangements. Her phone is 262.247.2262.

Arrangements must be made no later than 5:00pm on Friday, July 13.

Sponsorship opportunities are available and offer a range of worthwhile recognition and marketing options. Contact 262.247.2262 or hwirth@wisconsinart.org for more information.
