March 3, 2017

Coastal Carolina University's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute will hold an art auction fundraiser on Tuesday, March 14, at 4 p.m. at the Litchfield Education Center. Tickets are $10, and OLLI members are admitted free.

The auction items are works created and donated by OLLI instructors, students and staff. Media include pottery; watercolor, oil and acrylic painting; wood; and paper. Participating art instructors include Susan Duke, Barnie Slice, Susann Foderaro and Diane Wilgocki.

The event will include hors d'oeuvres, music by the OLLI chamber orchestra and a wine tasting sponsored by OneHope winery, a Napa Valley winery that will donate 50 percent of proceeds from each bottle sold to the OLLI program.

Art will be displayed from 4 to 6 p.m., and the silent bidding will close at 6.
