The Wildling Museum of Art and Nature will host its 2021 Virtual Fundraiser, 4-5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 7. Participants are invited to raise a glass to virtually toast the Wildling, enjoy live and silent auctions, and celebrate the premiere of a new short documentary film highlighting local valley oak tree habitats, produced by Goodeye Films.
Live guests will round out the experience that attendees can enjoy from home, and participants can help the Wildling Museum raise funds that will be doubled by Wildling Museum board member Kate Godfrey, up to $10,000.
The silent auction will feature one-of-a-kind art, unique jewelry, local wines, and dining and lodging packages. Silent auction bidding will be open online from Oct. 27-Nov. 7, closing at 4 p.m. on event day.
The live auction will feature a three-night stay at a private guesthouse in the Santa Ynez Valley; a mid-week staycation at Chumash Casino Resort, complete with dinner and spa treatments for two; and a private art workshop and studio tour with artist Holli Harmon.
Guests will also have opportunities to win a new HD Amazon Fire tablet; and a stay in Cambria at the Sea Otter Inn, including dinner at Linn’s Restaurant and wine tasting at nearby Harmony Cellars.
There is no cost to attend, however online registration in advance is required. Once registered, guests will receive an email with the link to join the event. Learn more about the event and register in advance at www.wildlingmuseum.org/news/2021-fall-fundraiser.
