Red Emma's First Ever Art Auction!

Thursday Nov 13, 7PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)


The United States economy is crumbling around us.  People are shaking
their heads in bewilderment and are looking for new systems.  Well, it
turns out there are alternatives!  There are even fun alternatives!
However, as of right now, the revolution may be fun, but it also has
to be funded. Red Emma's invites you to our
First-Ever ART AUCTION! From toy dinosaurs made out of rubberbands to
splendiferous creations by some of Baltimore's finest independent
artists, we guarantee there will be something for everyone!  And
besides the thrill of bidding (both silent & live!), you can bask in
warm fuzzy feeling you get from knowing that your bids will help keep
your favorite, friendly, local, and radical bookstore coffeehouse open
for another year (and hopefully many more to come). We would love help
from the community to make this event a smashing success! If you are
artistic or crafty, why not donate a piece? Whether or not you are
artistically-inclined, why not come out and check out the show?!?! The
price ranges will allow everyone to take something home! Come out!
Come out!
