Dear Starlyn:

Here in Greenville, SC the Greenville County Museum of Art has quite a successful fund-raising event each year where they have a large antique display and sale. You may want to contact them about their experiences. Their curator is Martha Severens ([log in to unmask]). 

Best regards,

I am wondering about the general consensus re: having antique auctions and festivals on museum grounds.  Does anyone have experience with on site auctions in which items that are similar to the museum collections are sold?  Do visitors understand that the museum is not selling collections or is there confusion about the role of the museum in such events?  I would appreciate hearing any thoughts about this.  Thanks.

Starlyn D'Angelo,
Curator
