Home Resource Benefit Auction
...The auction features a collection of artwork created by local found-art artists and some more spontaneous pieces created during a contest held at Home Resource earlier this fall.
The contest was called Spontaneous Construction. For four hours, Home Resource became a haven for the artistic mind as people from all different walks of life raced around the business looking for the perfect piece to complete their work of art.
“We had about 35 people show up,” said Hisel. “They included professional artists, architects, builders and families. They all had four hours to create something using whatever they could find in the yard.”
The idea had been to sell those pieces after they were completed, but the event wound up attracting far more artists than bidders, said Hisel.
“So we kept these pieces together and added some additional work by local found-object artists for this upcoming auction,” he said. “We have an additional 25 pieces or so from professional artists for the auction.”
The auction will include work by some of Missoula's best known found-object artists, including Bobby Tilton, Jason Gutzmer, Tom Robinson, Karen Slobad and Marc Moss.
