FARGO After the Plains Art Museum’s annual Spring Gala was scrapped last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, staff started thinking of different ways to hold the event’s anticipated art auction.
Rather than holding off for one big auction this year, the Plains will host four smaller auctions, each focused on a specific medium or theme.
The plan rolls out with the online-only Pop Up on the Plains: Ceramic Art Auction. While bidding runs Jan. 14-21, works are already up for view on the Plains’ website.
