OHIO TALENT NEEDED FOR SHOWCASE 2000

Ohio University faculty and staff, you are invited to participate in Showcase 2000, which will be held on May 18th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Nelson Commons. Showcase 2000 provides an opportunity for faculty, administrators and both bargaining and non-bargaining unit employees to share artistic abilities and creative talents with the university and Athens communities.

Participants may submit their items in any of three categories:

  • for display only
  • donation for Bobcat Auction
  • on a 60/40 consignment (artist-60%, exhibition-40%)

In previous years, items were sold through a public auction. This year, however, we are going to use a Bobcat Auction. Bidders in the Bobcat Auction purchase a desired number of tickets in one or more of the following pricing levels:

  • $1 tickets -- one to four for $1 each, or six for $5
  • $5 tickets -- one to four for $5 each, or five for $20
  • $10 tickets -- one to ten for $10 each, or eleven for $100

Bidders place one or more tickets (of the appropriate pricing level) into a container located in front of the donated item(s) they are interested in obtaining. At the end of the Showcase, one ticket will be drawn per item to select the winners. If your ticket is drawn for a particular item, YOU WIN !!! (Participants do not have to be present to win.)

Examples of items donated at previous showcases include:

Wall paper hanging/design
Drafting of a Will
Musical entertainment
Comic routines
Knitting
Quilt making
Painting/watercolors/drawing
Woodworking

All proceeds from items donated or sold on consignment will be used to endow a scholarship. The scholarship is limited to students enrolled at the Athens Campus and will be awarded to OU employees or their dependents that have earned 45 credit hours or more.

Come and be a part of Showcase 2000! For further information on donating items or participating in the Showcase, contact John Dillon at 593-9712 (jdillon1@ohiou.edu), Karen Deardorff at 597-2907 (deardorf@ohiou.edu) or Rhonda Talbott at 593-9902 (talbott@ohiou.edu).
