SPOTLIGHT: RAMP art auction

The Rockingham Arts and Museum Project (RAMP) Art Auction and Raffle is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with artists and friends: with the suspense of bidding for great art for a good cause.

More than 60 regional artists and performers contribute their time and artworks for this 11th annual benefit, including Charlie Hunter, Steve Procter, Natalie Blake, Phyllis Rosser, Chris Sherwin, and Robert McBride.

Proceeds benefit the work of RAMP, a nonprofit that is dedicated to “revitalizing the community by developing awareness of the arts, creating vitality in the community with the arts, and demonstrating that the arts favorably impact the local economy,” according to its founder Robert McBride.

You can purchase tickets in advance or at the door: $25 each or five for $100. Artists reception on Sunday, April 7 from 2-4p. View the work during BF3F on Friday April 19, 5-7.
