The first TDDA Silent Ornament Auction got off to a great start during the Tryon Christmas Stroll Dec. 2. Held at Skyuka Fine Art, people selected their favorite handmade ornaments donated by local artists to bid on. More than 50 one-of-a-kind creations were donated.
A rotating tree which displays the ornaments at the gallery remains up with bidding open until Friday Dec. 16 at 7 p.m.
TDDA hosts a reception to finalize bidding and award prizes to the top artists that evening from 6-8 p.m. in the gallery. Wine and food will be served. The auction benefits the TDDA to help pay for such events as strolls and downtown beautification and development. Call 828-817-3783 or email info@skyukafineart.com for more information.
