another try
Thanks very much for the feedback people - a bit more wind underneath my sail!
I called the organization back and was told no one was available to speak to me and they would have to contact me back. Frankly at this point I am getting the impression of poor organization from them.
I found an alternative gala event next month which happens to be put on by their competition.
It's just as well because I contacted the second event organizer and they came across as being straight forward and they also promised to tell me a bit about their members when we discuss donation details down the road.
According to the second party, there are few other paintings involved already and response to paintings in past auctions has been mixed. I am excited to learn more about this group and have a feeling it may work out to be a potential match if their members are interested in realist works.
For greenhorns interested in auction donations, I am learning the more you know who you are dealing with the more return for your time and effort.
