Thanks to hundreds of generous donors and an enthusiastic crowd, the Wheelwright Museum is happy to report that the 32nd Annual Benefit Auction of 2007 was a great success! The proceeds from our largest annual fundraiser support the museum’s operation expenses and enable the Wheelwright to remain open daily and free to the public.

We are actively planning our 33rd Annual Benefit Auction for 2008, and we are presently seeking donations of contemporary and historic Native American art – such as jewelry, pottery, textiles, baskets, paintings, and folk art. All generous contributions are fully tax deductable. If you have items that you would like to donate, please contact Lea at 505.982.4636, ext. 103 or at asstdir@wheelwright.org.

Save these dates for August 2008!
