35x35x35 Live, OnSite and OnLine – those aren’t basketball scores – must be related to art.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON  October 30, 2012  They opened the place 35 years ago – times does fly.

When did that orange piece of metal work outside the building go up?  That long ago eh?  Maybe I’m actually getting used to it.

Placed outside the Art Centre in 1978 the aluminum structure has drawn attention to the Centre.

The structure is A Space Composition for Rebecca by artist Haydn Llewellyn Davies, who died in 2008. It is orange aluminum and has been a fixture outside the building since 1978.

The Burlington Art Centre Foundation is going to hold a three part auction with thirty five items in each part to highlight and focus public attention on their 35th year of existence.

Applications to be considered for the Art Auction in 2013 close November 23, at 5:00 pm.

The three parts are 35 Live, 35 Onsite and 35 Online auctions for objects from visual artists working in all medium.  Entries for the three auctions will be selected by a jury of experts to ensure quality and an offering of unique and original pieces.

Each category will include a range of art forms and values.  Category selection will be made, in part, by a determination of which pieces will be best suited to which audience, thereby increasing the opportunities for a successful sale.

Artists must submit a completed Art Auction 2013 Submission Form, along with a digital image of the artwork, by Friday, November 23, 2012, 5:00 p.m.
