BUDA – The Inspired Minds Art Center will be holding an art auction on April 22 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The collection, donated by Susan Amster, will also be featured on display.
The collection itself has artwork from around the world and has over 125 pieces and features works from noticeable Texan artists like Ray George and Paul Kelpe. Throughout the room, visitors can find a vibrant display of colors, with styles of artwork ranging from digital to abstract, reaching as far back as the 80s.
“I’ve been working on this for months with Susan, going into her home, visiting her artist friends who are on the walls,” Jessica Mason, the art director of the collection, said. “There’s a piece of art for everyone in the show. It’s just an incredible breadth of work.”
Susan and her sister, Stephanie, were both members of the larger art community in Texas and will be having their birthday celebrated at the event. Stephanie died during the pandemic a year prior but is survived by both her sister and their artwork, some of which will be available for purchase.
The auction will begin online at 5 p.m. followed by light refreshments in the center itself. At 6 p.m., Susan will begin a live dedication, and the night will end with a cello performance. All of the artwork will have a price listed next to it as a ‘buy now’ option, but the auctions will remain open till June 4.
