We got positive feedback from Joe&Jimmy and they seemed interested in our idea of setting up an auction of students work. They want to do the auction before the end of the term. We still have quite a lot of work to do - points we need to address are:
- need to research into where we would do the auction - main possible idea is to have it at the golf club where I work because there are a lot of wealthy people who come in and out every day who I think would be interested in buying new, upcoming art.
- how to auction - either have a silent auction where we exhibit the work for about a week and people bid anonymously throughout the week, or we have a proper theatrical auction where we can still exhibit the work first for a week and then at the end of the week we hold an auction event and people bid for it then.
- idea of public auction - could get together people's work and try to auction it off in public spaces like stations, trains, parks etc using someone with great selling skills and personality to perform as auctioneer
- promotion - need to get a theme or a brand idea/name of auction and create posters to advertise the auction
