IPAT AUCTION REQUEST
Chairman: Vicki George  -  Auctioneer:  Cherryl Meggs
The past 2 years have seen a renewed interest in and support of
IPAT which has greatly encouraged everyone concerned with the
future of Porcelain Artistry.  Much needed funds to insure that
future can be generated through the increase in membership
andthe generosity and support of its members.  IPAT is asking for
your generosity and support through donations of your artwork to
be displayed then auctioned at the Auction Dinner in Nashville TN.

Donations can be mailed, shipped or given in person between
now and the start of the show.

All artwork received ahead of showtime will be photographed
and showcased on IPAT’s website where we can allenjoy
artwork from around the world.

Please include your name, address and email if your want to
share it.  Please remember to wrap your porcelain carefully for
shipping - double boxing it is the best way.  Please use tape
around the porcelain, it has a way of freeing itself from its
wrappings in transit.
Mail via USPS to:  
Victoria George - P O Box 264 - Arcade, NY 14009
OR to ship via UPS or FED EX-
ship to:   Victoria George - 6988 Northwoods Rd - Arcade, NY
