Oswego County Opportunities (OCO) has added something new to its upcoming “Giving Thanks” event…an Art Auction!
In addition to the delectable foods and beverages that “Giving Thanks” is known for attendees will have the opportunity to view and bid on a selection of artwork created by OCO staff, volunteers, and consumers. The OCO Art Auction will feature a collection of paintings, drawings, stylish photographs and more that will be available via a silent auction that will take place during OCO’s Annual “Giving Thanks” event.
“We’re excited to be adding the OCO Art Auction to “Giving Thanks”, said OCO Development Coordinator Bridget Dolbear. “It’s a rare opportunity to own a truly unique, one a kind piece of artwork. It was interesting to see how many talented artists have ties to OCO.”
With each artist donating their time, talent and artwork to OCO the proceeds from the OCO Art Auction will support OCO’s “Building Futures, Changing Lives” initiative, which focuses on empowering people to create a better life for themselves and their families and improves the quality of life in our communities as a result.
OCO’s “Giving Thanks”, presented by Exelon Generation, will be held Friday, Nov. 1, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 pm at the Lake Ontario Convention, Event and Conference Center, 26 East First St., Oswego.
