The Annnual Art Auction and Wine Tasting was held Saturday, May 1, 2011, in historic Abbot Hall. Auction goers enjoyed hors d’oeuvres by Dario's Catering; desserts by Edible Arrangements, Starlight Creatives, and Harbor Sweets and classical guitar music by Brian Rolland. Three talented artists demonstrated their artistry: Martha Quigley, painter of nautical themes; Patricia De Carlo Baker, Nantucket Basket weaving; and Pam Haley, jewelry designer.

Once again, the charming and knowledgeable Gene Arnould of Arnould Gallery & Framery was our auctioneer. Auction items included unique original art; jewelry; gift baskets; gourmet food and wine; floral arrangements; professional services; concert and theatre tickets; and gift certificates to specialty shops, inns, and restaurants.
