Annual Wildlife Art Auction

Happy Autumn, Friends of the Ned Smith Center!

We're busy with preparations for our 17th Annual Wildlife Art Auction, which is happening this Saturday, October 2 at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area in Kleinfeltersville. Our auction features works by the most celebrated names in wildlife art, including Gerald Putt, Dan Christ, Sheree Dougherty and of course, Ned Smith.

Our auction features more Ned Smith prints and originals than any other auction in the country, and we've really got some special pieces this year. In addition to the sixteen pen-and-ink originals, we have a special mixed media original and the #1/600 print of River Otters, complete with a pencil remarque by Ned Smith! A complete list of auction items is available on our website, as well as a link to a printable version. Click here to see the complete list!

Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., and the live auction will start at 12 p.m. We will have a silent auction from 9:30 a.m. - 11 a.m., which will feature artwork, books and other Ned Smith memorabilia. Food and beverages will also be available for purchase, so feel free to spend the day with us! For directions to Middle Creek, click this link and enter your starting address.

We hope to see you this weekend!
