October 7 – October 25, 2016

Del Ray real estate at prices everyone can afford! Del Ray Artisans’ artists have created one-of-a-kind birdhouses for the Birdhouses of Del Ray silent auction fundraiser. Artists used a wide range of materials to create and decorate their birdhouses. From fiber to glass to wood to clay, there is one style that is sure to ‘tweet out’ to you. The silent auction kicks-off at the opening reception of the Local Flavor show on Friday, October 7, 2016 from 7-9pm.

Bid on these wonderful pieces October 7-25, 2016.  The birdhouses will be displayed at the Del Ray Artisans’ gallery during that time, so come take a peek!   The auction will end October 25, 2016 at 9 pm.  Proceeds will benefit Del Ray Artisans.
