Ohio River Valley Art Guild

ORVAG ART AUCTION

Members and guests enjoyed an evening of food and socializing October 10 at the Ohio River Valley Artists’ Guild (ORVAG) annual art auction held at the Guild headquarters in Old Washington. The auction of donated original artwork is the Guild’s major fund raiser. The sale netted $2,500.00. Kelly Ashley was the auctioneer.
The meal was a potluck affair of finger foods, burgoo, vegetables, and desserts.
