The Guadalupe Project Auction
Friday, December 11
7:30pm

Please join us for this very special evening.

On the eve of Guadalupe's saint day, eighteen figures of The Virgin of Guadalupe created by women artists will be auctioned to benefit entrepreneurial refugee and immigrant women through Refugee Women's Network, Inc.'s (RWN) microloan program.

The Virgin of Guadalupe, an iconic 16 th century image that appeared miraculously on a simple Indian man's peasant cloak in colonial Mexico , is one of the most beloved figures of the Latin world. Signifying for many the essential mother, she is patroness of the indigenous peoples of the world, and maker of many miracles.

Participating artists: Dorothy Allen, Ginger Birdsey, Kimberly Dean, Melanie Eberhardt, Gretchen Haas, Elizabeth Lide, Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier, Vickie Martin, Balam Hernandez Martinez, Lynne Moody, Judy Schwarz, Ruth Schowalter, Anita Stewart, Robey Tapp, Sally Wylde, Amy Bradford, Fiona Thompson

The figures are on display in the front window at Mingei. Come see these magnificent pieces while they are all together!

Donations for the fund will be happily accepted-- even if you don't go home with one of the Guadalupe figures!

We encourage bidders to bring cash or a check for their winning bid purchases rather than planning to pay with a credit or debit card so that their entire total can be applied to the microloan fund. 

Mingei is grateful to its partners for this special project:
