The juried show, the center’s first, is open to the public until Saturday, October 15, when a live auction of 20 of the designated pieces will be held at the center’s closing event, “Chili Nights” (chili dinner and bidding paddle for $35). The event will be held from 6-8:30 p.m. The artwork is featured on the Rye Arts Center website and absentee bids will be taken.
