“On November 1, 2024 at 5-8 PM the Idaho State University Department of Art will host its 11th annual Art á la Carte Silent Auction. The event, which raises money for student scholarships, the visiting artist program, department needs and the ISU foundation, will take place at the Pocatello Art Center.
“The main event includes a silent auction and sale, which will auction off and sell art made by students, faculty, and alumni. The ISU Fine Arts Club will attend and participate as well. We invite the public to come see what our students and faculty have been creating and possibly bring something home!
“Items at auction include jewelry, ceramics, prints, sculptures, paintings, and wearables. Bids will be accepted during the preview exhibition from Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at the Pocatello Art Center.”
