Silent Auction plans announced

On Saturday, April 14th, 2007, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Pottsville Free Public Library, the public is invited to attend an Artists’ Reception and the launching of a Silent Auction for “Outside the Margins,” the altered book art project sponsored by the Library, its Friends group and Allied Artists of Schuylkill County.

Visitors will meet the artists involved in transforming discarded books into works of art and will be able to offer silent bids to purchase an altered book or books.

The artists involved have agreed to donate all proceeds from the sales of these books to the library. This altered art project is featured in the current issue of Pennsylvania Magazine.

The reception/auction is part of an arts weekend in downtown Pottsville.
