The 14th Annual Online Auction benefitting the Portraits, Inc. Scholarship Foundation was held May 7 - 9, 2024, and was one of our most successful auctions to date! For three days, twenty-five fantastic non-portrait works were available for purchase. The works at auction were all created by Portraits, Inc. artists, many of whom, in addition to painting masterful portraits, are also extremely talented when it comes to creating other kinds of art as well – landscapes, still life, figure paintings and more. To participate in the auction, they donated a variety of these non-portrait works.
Our annual auction is the primary source of funding for the Portraits, Inc. Scholarship Program. Portraits, Inc. also donates a portion of every portrait sold to the scholarship fund. We have seven outstanding applicants this year and funds raised from the auction are greatly appreciated in order to meet scholarship needs. The scholarship recipients were announced in June.
The Portraits, Inc. Scholarship Foundation (a 501c3 organization) is celebrating its 23rd year granting scholarships to children and grandchildren of our artists. Over the history of the program, 85 students have been awarded more than $180,000 in scholarships.
