The National Art Honor Society and Intrinsic Art Club will hold the Annual Art Auction on May 20 from 6-8 p.m. at the Solon High School.

SHS students in the art club have worked on the pieces throughout the year and will sell their art through a bidding process. There will also be a silent auction featuring pieces from local artists from Cleveland. The auction will showcase a variety of art mediums, such as photography, paintings, ceramics and digital art. Proceeds from the auction will go towards Bellefaire JCB, a mental health service for children that the art club has worked with before.

Senior Disha Patel will contribute a painting to the auction that illustrates a cafe during the holidays. According to Patel, she focused on the lighting, reflections and shadows during the painting process.

“I’m excited because this is the first time I have submitted art to the auction, but I’m also nervous since it’ll reach a large audience,” Patel said.

Senior Jahnavi Roychowdhury has said she will also contribute a piece–a digital drawing of a flower that includes a unique circular pattern.

Roychowdhury has said that visitors can expect a wide variety of art pieces, as well as music and food.

According to Roychowdhury, “It’ll be a great experience for the community to connect with student and local artists to support a good cause.”
