Abstract:
Each summer upwards of 400 art connoisseurs, gallery owners, collectors, museum directors, and foundation heads converge on Penland in Mitchell County. They come for the Annual Benefit Auction, now in its 15th year, of works created at the world-renowned Penland School of Crafts. The auction raised $236,000 in 2000, and all the money supports Penland's programs and studies. Founded in 1929 by Lucy Morgan, the school has forty campus buildings and offers workshops in ten crafts.
