AMoA hosts 17th annual 20x20 Exhibition and Silent Auction

Now in its 17th year, the 20x20 Juried Art Exhibition and Online Auction is an annual fundraiser designed to celebrate art and support the Amarillo Museum of Art's (AMoA) innovative education programs as well as the local artist community.

This year, AMoA is looking forward to welcoming patrons to the museum, located at 2200 South Van Buren on the Washington Street campus of Amarillo College, for a 20x20 reception on Thursday, March 30, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Artworks will be sold to the highest bidder, with bids starting at $150. Admission is free for AMoA members and $20 for non-members.

This year’s exhibition will be installed for museum visitors to view in person at the AMoA for two days, March 29 and March 30. Images of the artworks will also be featured on the AMoA website where they can be viewed, and bid on, from the comfort of a home computer, smartphone, or tablet.

All bidding will take place online. It began at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, March 24, and will end at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 30.

The generosity and support shown by artists and art collectors is vital to the museum and greatly appreciated by the AMoA Board of Trustees, Alliance, and staff. Participation in this event enables AMoA to continue bringing first-class art programming to area schools. For more information, call (806) 371-5050, or email amoa@actx.edu.
