MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — The Art Students’ League of Montana State University Billings will hold its art auction at the Yellowstone Art Museum’s Visible Vault on Saturday, Nov. 17. The fun starts at 6 .m. at the Visible Vault, 505 N. 26th St., and the live auction starts at 7:30 p.m. The event is open to the public.

 

Donated art from MSU Billings students, faculty and Billings-area community members will be on hand for viewing and purchase. Local businesses have also contributed door prizes and funding to help the club on this large community event.

 

Proceeds from the art auction will support the Art Students’ League in purchasing new art equipment, hosting visiting artist workshops and providing scholarships for art students. The club is a non-profit organization with a mission to expand the education of students in and beyond the realm of the classroom. The ASL members focus on encouraging a new generation of artists to set roots in the growing local art community.
