BUNKER HILL – Artists from across Kansas and beyond have donated their amazing works to the 2015 Smoky Hills Public Television Signature Auction.

The auction is one of SHPTV’s largest fundraisers. The funding helps support the programming and services provided to central and western Kansas through local public television.

More than 100 items have been donated, including paintings, sculptures, pottery and mixed media. All of the pieces are on display at the Deines Cultural Center in Russell from March 27 to April 15, with a gallery reception to be held on March 27 from 5 to 8 p.m.

“Each year, we are impressed and grateful for the generosity of the artists who choose to share their work with us,” said Tricia Flax, event coordinator for Smoky Hills Public Television.

The auction will be aired live on Smoky Hills Public Television on April 18 and 19 from 7 to 10 p.m.
