DESCRIPTION OF SHOW
The Repo Show accepts gallery quality artwork composed of at least 70% recycled, re-claimed or
re-used materials. The show is focused on artwork donated by professional artists, Arts Guild
Community Members and area business and community leaders.
The Repo Show is the Arts Guild of Sonoma’s 2012 fundraising event. Proceeds will finance the
Arts Guild’s education and community outreach programs and support the Arts Guild Gallery.
The silent auction runs the first three weeks of March 2012. The minimum bid for each piece is
$50.00.
The Repo Show emphasizes high artistic quality and the Arts Guild encourages the creation and
donation of artwork worthy of high auction bids.
There will be a Closing Party held at the Gallery on March 24th, during which the silent auction
will be concluded. All bidders are encouraged to come to the Closing Party to defend their bids!
To sign up as a contributing Repo Show Artist, please email your name, mailing address and
phone number to coordinator@artsguildreposhow.org by December 30, 2011.
