With over 60 artists participating in the Art Auction, The Carlo Pittore Costume Ball and Art Auction brought in over $4,000 to create and support UMVA’s new website. It gave UMVA artists a wonderful chance to mix and mingle at the Bowdoinham Historical Society’s Merrymeeting Hall on Aug. 3. Bowdoinham is where Carlo lived and had his studio. Being able to put faces to the emails that are sent around was so much fun. The crowd was estimated to be around 100 at its height.
