SURRY -Surry arts at the Barn(SATB) will hold its first silent art  auction and fund-raiser Saturday, August 12 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Headed by SATB Board member Margret Baldwin, the event has an unusual twist to it. “We’ve asked over 35 local artists to interpret the theme “Performance” and they have in a variety of ways.  We have beautiful sculptures, culinary creations, paintings, drawings, pottery, textiles, ceramics, instrument making, dramatic readings, and more.  There is probably something for everyone, ” Baldwin said.

Items can be viewed beginning Tuesday, August 1 before and after regular Barn performances.

“We thought this would be an appropriate theme for the Barn since our mission  is to bring high-quality and diverse  performing arts to the community.
I’m amazed at how differently the artists interpreted the notion of performance,” she said.

SATB is a non-profit organization and relies on the support of the community to continue its programming, Baldwin added.
Admission is $10 for the Silent Auction and Reception.  Music will be provided by Oliver Scott.

SATB is located in a 100-year-old barn at 8 Cross Road in Surry. For more information call 207-667-1308 or visit the website at satb-surry.com
