Through December 22
Make a 100% tax deductible gift in support of the Bradford Paid Internship Program!
The Print Center’s Bradford Paid Internship Program provides support to college and graduate level students with 12 weeks of professional development and training. Named in honor of Board Member Blake Bradford, Paid Internships were one of the many initiatives he spearheaded before his untimely passing earlier this year. Paid Internships reduce the financial barriers to gaining crucial experience and provide an accessible pathway to career advancement in the arts. Your donation will keep Bradford’s spirit alive while building the next generation of arts professionals!

MEET THE HONORARY CURATOR: SPENCER ZAHN
Spencer Zahn has been involved in the arts in Philadelphia since childhood – taking classes at Fleisher Art Memorial, studying art in high school and graduating from the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts). His senior year ended on a high note when his first public exhibition, SkyScapes, sold out. He went on to a stellar career – highlights include varied types of design work – concert posters, album covers, concert stages and “high heel rock ‘n roll” boots – as well as achievements in advertising, architecture, marketing, painting, photography, printmaking and sound engineering. Zahn’s open and generous spirit informs his work and his approach to collecting art and books.

New This Year!
Cascading and Popcorn bidding allows you to bid with ease when you are interested in multiple lots. Please pay close attention to specific lot end times, as each lot closes individually. Refer to each lot’s countdown timer to keep track of pieces you are following.
Cascading lots close in a rolling order, a minute apart, one after another, so that you can fully focus on an individual lot without missing out on others.
Popcorn Bidding extends a lot’s availability by two minutes, with each new bid made in the last two minutes before closing. Popcorn bidding will stay active until a full two minutes passes without any new bid activity. This allows bidders to have ample time to counter, raising the most possible support for The Print Center.
Buyer’s Premium – Artsy will add a standard additional charge of 15% onto each item’s hammer price. Paying the Buyer’s Premium allows more of the proceeds from the Auction to benefit The Print Center.
