Baltimore Heritage can help you check off a few names from your holiday gift list. From now until the evening of Sunday, December 11th we are holding an Art Auction on eBay Giving Works.

With thanks to everybody who came out for our 2011 Preservation Awards Celebration on June 10, and who stuck it out through the deluge that evening (I am convinced we set a record for wettest non-profit event in Baltimore), we have a number of great art items for auction from the event which remained dry but unsold. The event, which we have retrospectively dubbed the “Monsoon in June,” gave everyone a great opportunity to meet people as we huddled under a tent, but it didn’t give our donated art pieces the proper attention that they deserved.

Here is a chance for gala attendees and the public to have a second opportunity to view and bid on the art from the comfort of their dry and climate controlled desk chairs. If you weren’t able to attend the gala, you now have an opportunity to see and bid on these wonderful works of art. What better gift for your favorite Baltimorean than an art piece depicting the city we all know and love.
