Arts Excentrix Clearing House Art Auction and Art Market is on again this year. It will be held as it was last year in the beautiful historic garden of Anni Luur Fox in Main Street Hahndorf.

The rationale driving this event: Artists tend to accumulate unsold works that sit in their studio. This can be a positive, in that these works can act as a stimulus for new works that are a further development of the themes of the earlier work. It can also be a clutter and any artist is well aware that there are many reasons why works may have not sold at exhibition, not the least being that someone who loves the work may not be able to afford it at Exhibition prices. This led Suzi Windram to come up with the concept of a silent art auction.

​

Being Arts Excentrix any event that we hold is inclusive and sociable. We have engaged Monsieur Swing, a gypsy jazz music ensemble, and those attending are asked bring their own food and drinks and enjoy an afternoon of music food and wine with the opportunity to purchase a wonderful artwork at a much reduced cost. Each of the major works to be auctioned will have a bidding sheet next to it and potential bidders will be provided with an identifying symbol or number. There will also be smaller art works for direct sale.

Artists include: Suzi Windram, Lynn Elzinga-Henry, Anni Luur Fox, Jenny Bolto, Glen Reynolds, Pat Hodson and Ingrid Mangan.
