Washington Pavilion’s Arts Night decided to take everyone’s donation this year

Surprise, Surprise. After fighting with me about how assanine it was to reject an arts donation, it seems someone at the Visual Arts Center fricking woke up and came up with a great idea on how to accept all artistic donations;

  Arts Night Silent Auction, New this year is a silent auction of original artwork. Exhibition runs March 20 through April 29, 2009, with final bidding to take place during Arts Night on May 1, 2009. The Silent Auction gallery is adjoining the main gallery and bids on artworks can be submitted at the Visual Arts Center reception desk.

I also heard that the artists have a choice whether to receive a percentage of the purchase price or tickets to the live auction, another suggestion I made yearrrrrrsssss ago.

So I wonder who is taking credit for all of these changes?
