The University of Wyoming Student Art League will host a 4x4 Silent Art Auction Friday, Nov. 22, from 6-8 p.m. in the Visual Arts Building lobby.

Those who would like to create and submit art for the show are invited to do so. Individuals can pick up 4x4 wooden panels, provided by the Student Art League, in the Visual Arts main office during business hours to design and decorate.

“This is around our 15th year of our 4x4 fundraiser, and it is a great opportunity for the campus community to get some amazing art for themselves or as gifts, and to support travel and service initiatives for our students at the same time,” says Shelby Shadwell, an associate professor of drawing in the UW Department of Visual Arts.

Artists can prime and paint the surface; mount a paper-based drawing, print or collage; or use the panel as a pedestal for a 3D object or sculpture. The Student Art League requests that individuals take no more than four panels.

This year, participating artists have the option to donate the entire amount to the Student Art League or split the auction price 50/50.

Those who wish to create art for submission are required to fill out an online form here.

Completed 4x4 panels and registrations are due no later than Thursday, Nov. 14, at 5 p.m.

Alternatively, completed panels can be mailed to: SAL 4x4, Dept. 3138 Art and Art History, at UW.

This year, the 4x4 annual fundraiser will be an in-person event Nov. 22 in the Visual Arts Building lobby from 6-8 p.m. There will be music and light refreshments.

All completed works will be on display in the Visual Arts lobby Monday-Friday, Nov. 18-22.

For more information about this event, email Shadwell at sshadwel@uwyo.edu.
