Online Auction to Benefit the LongHouse Reserve 2011
The Online auction to benefit the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton NY is now live and online! I have enjoyed having my work at the LHR but more than anything I have enjoyed every event I have attended there. This year I have donated a piece to the annual auction thatI hope will help contribute to the programs at the LongHouse.
Click here to see which piece I have donated and please consider buying something to benefit the LongHouse. But wait there is more! If the winning bidder is going to install the piece on the East End I will personally come over and hang it!
Good Luck!
Nico
