The Conference Auction Committee consisting of ARA Carmen Oliver, Merdith Davis, and Shelli Cornelison – The Dynamic Trio – have been hard at work gathering the most amazing items for our Conference Silent Auction. Below is a list of just a few of the cool things they’ve scoured up for us and they promise there are more items to come!
Actually, this list serves as a testimony for the wonderful way our creative community bands together by sharing talent, treasure, and support for one another. Are we blessed? The answer to that question is a resounding YES!
You must be present to win, so if you haven’t registered for the conference do it now!!!

This year at the conference, there will be a silent auction/raffle to raise funds. Donations of prints (originals are accepted, as well), framed (preferred) or unframed, are being requested. Please choose your favorite illustration, slap it in a frame and donate it to the cause! This not only shows your generous spirit, but it is yet another way to get your art in front of the faculty at the conference. Who knows, maybe they’ll bring your work home to display in their office! Furthermore, the proceeds from all art sales go toward the chapter’s illustration budget, so that we can continue to have great illustrator events in the future. It’s a win-win!
Donations need to be dropped off by Friday, February 17th at 5pm at St. Edward’s University, where the conference is being held. If you don’t think you’ll make that deadline, feel free to contact a Girllustrator or Assistant Regional Advisor Carmen Oliver to set something up.
