Hi Patt,

I think you should let the auction people know that you will be setting up a sample and displaying materials. It should be a condition of your participation.

I would also recommend that your gift has restrictions, ie that certificates cannot be combined, and that there is a limit of one per family. The idea is to get your work into NEW venues, not lots of work in one. Auctions deal with restrictions all the time, e.g. hotels, restaurants, with black out dates, etc., so they should not be surprised. Also I would not indemnify the recipient against price changes. Clearly state that your prices ar esubject to change.

Display a piece of work that is relevant to the particular group of attendees, just as you would tailor a resume to a particular interview.

Offer to do the set up as no one will do it as well as you. You also need to check the bid sheet carefully, as people need to know clearly what they will have to put in to the gift to have it happen...dollar-wise. Otherwise, long after, they will be angry at you, not at the auction committee.

Good luck, Chris
