Designers are at work creating beautiful and/or outrageous fashions to strut down the runway for the fashion event of the season, RiverArts’ Reclaimed Runway at the Chesapeake Room of the Rock Hall Volunteer Fire Department on March 24, 2018. In addition, RiverArts members have donated some extraordinary items for the silent auction. Among the exciting options are a three-bedroom condo in Telluride, a Paul Reed Smith guitar, a behind-the-scenes private tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, gourmet dinners, and a sunset margarita boat cruise.
The luxury Telluride apartment sleeps up to eight people and has three bedrooms, three baths and a fully equipped kitchen sleeping up to 8 people. Donated by Leslie and Andy Price, the apartment is available July 15 – 22, 2018 and is valued at $4995. The resort is high in the San Juan mountain range in SW Colorado, and is a very short walk to two Gondolas, one which goes to downtown Telluride and the other to the food market in Mountain Village. The Lodge will provide complimentary transportation between the Lodge and either the Telluride Airport or the Montrose Airport.
Is there a musician in your family? They will covet the Paul Reed Smith (PRS) SE Custom 24 guitar. Played by internationally touring artists, gigging musicians, and aspiring players alike, this amethyst model features a maple top, mahogany back, wide thin maple neck, rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, and the PRS patented molded tremolo bridge.
Priceless! A behind-the-scenes private tour for two of the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. Options include meeting curatorial and conservation staff.
Among the gourmet dinners are a fabulous September crab feast and garden party for six with Vida Morley and Bob Fox, a 4 course Asian fusion dinner for six with Ronnie Edelman, and a scrumptious paella dinner with a whole lobster for each of six guests with MaryJo and Champe McCulloch and Mary and Charlie Sjoquist.
A popular return auction item is a Margarita Cruise for 6 people down Still Pond Creek and along the Chesapeake Bay for a stunning sunset over the Western Shore with Nancy and Zane Carter.
