A hundred pieces of fine art found new homes after a night of community members bidding and outbidding each other. The silent and live auction, also known as the 38th annual Gala Art Auction, acts as the Quinlan Visual Arts Center’s one and only fundraiser for the year. “It’s our signature event,” Amanda McClure, executive director of the center, said.
