Now in its 21st year as a Wildflower! program and attraction, the auction has raised almost $144,000, with all proceeds going to two local organizations. The benefactors of the Art Guitar Auction, Network of Community Ministries and the RISD Fine Arts Program, will staff the auction with volunteers and share with festivalgoers and bidders how the auction proceeds benefit their organization. The bidding will close at 3 p.m. Sunday, so bid early and often
