RSVP IS OPENSilent Auction
But this event is much more than just an extraordinary gallery. It is a special occasion and opportunity to fulfill our commitment with the community by helping others. To accomplish this, we are asking our talented community members to submit their best pictures for consideration to be displayed in the gallery by using hashtag #IGersBoston_Gallery17, #FairmontCopley and tagging both @IGersBoston and @FairmontCopley on their entries. If selected, you’ll be asked to allow the print out of your image(s) to be silent auctioned during the event. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to “Transition House,” a nonprofit organization working to prevent and end domestic violence in Massachusetts through education, outreach and intervention.
As the photographer, you retain the original image ownership and copyright. All you are contributing (in addition to the image) is the authorization to auction the actual print displayed at the gallery and agreeing that the entire sale amount will be donated to Transition House. By doing so, you are truly helping for a really good cause. Any remaining image prints not sold during the silent auction will be given to their respective authors if requested.
