USC Art Department auction generates
more than $19,000 for students, gallery
BY WENDY JEFFCOAT
THE GAMECOCK
Almost 300 people from the
Columbia area gathered in the
Capstone House’s Campus Room
at USC’s 48th annual art auction
to bid on original pieces by Art
Department students and faculty.
Mana Hewitt, USC Art
Department gallery director, es
timated that the auction brought
in about $19,000.
Sixty-six percent of the sale
goes to the artist, and 33 percent
goes to the Art Department.
Hewitt said that although it
sounds like a big chunk goes to
the department, any commercial
gallery gets 50 percent of a sale.
“It helps to generate about
$5,000 a year for the Art
Department’s expenses,” she said.
Last year’s auction generated
more than $18,000, but that money
was split between the department
and the artists.
“I’m very surprised by the
quality of work,” said Brene
Perrotta, a fourth-year history
student. “I think it all looks very
professional, like something you
would see in a museum.”
She said the “Gamecock art”
really jumped out at her, al
though she wasn’t planning to bid
on any of the items at the auction.
“I love the stuff
that’s oriented at
USC,” Perrotta
said.
One hundred
twenty-two
pieces of art were
listed for auction
“to help raise
funds for various
events tnat are tor students in the
Art Department,” Hewitt said.
The auction also helps pay for
gallery expenses and “a small
amount of scholarships.”
In general, students and faculty
contribute art to the auction
equally, but Hewitt said the event
weighs heavier toward student art
because it’s “a way for students to
get a little bit
of extra mon
ey.”
As far as
the pieces’
selling
prices,
Hewitt said
there are n<4)
guarantees.
i ms is a potluck, she said.
Hewitt said the struggling econ
omy might have hurt sales be
cause art sales are down every
where.'She said she didn’t know
how the economy’s state would af
“It has been one of the
best PR things the Art
Department could
possibly do.”
MANA HEWITT
use ART DEPARTMENT GALLERY DIRECTOR
lect me auaience s purchases.
Hewitt, who has been running
the USC Art Department gallery
for four years, said the money
helps pay for the general expens
es of gallery exhibitions, such as
invitations and catalogues.
“It has been one of the best PR
things the Art Department could
possibly do,” she said. “It allows
the community to come out here
and see how good our students
are and see that their professor^
are active members of the arts
community.”
Ken Baskin, a first-year grad
uate ceramic fine arts student,
said this year is his first submit
ting art in the auction.
Hewitt said the auction is a
great outreach to the community
and “also turns people onto the
possibility that they, too, can take
some classes in the art department
and let go of their creative juices. ”
