Shangri La by Clint Baclawski (MassArt 08′, Starting bid $3,000)
Artists featured come from all different age groups, mediums and locations. The benefit event includes graduate students, alumni and even up-and-coming undergrads. Perhaps you could discover the next big Boston artist, or buy a piece of art from someone in the early stages of their career just waiting to be thrust into the spotlight. Early artist recognition is one of the best things to come out of the auction (other than the scholarships). We hope we see you there.
