\n@<\/strong>n online auction of collectible Maker\u2019s Mark Art Bottles<\/em><\/strong><\/a> takes center stage, now that the \u201cWhisky Wall of Wonder\u201d has made its splash (last Saturday night during the 50th anniversary celebration of LexArts<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and the associated Horse Mania Auction at Keeneland<\/a>). When the distillery teams up with the arts institution in a milestone dollar-raising concept connected to the legendary race track, I can\u2019t help but be a \u201cpart of the action.\u201d However, unlike when I created my only collage on bowling pin<\/a>, the participating artists don\u2019t get a \u201cpiece of the action\u201d this go round. No exploitation here, folks. It\u2019s a total, eyes-wide-open donation to observe the half-century mark and benefit the arts in Central Kentucky. It\u2019s been no secret how I view the whole subject of periodic contributions of creative labor to nonprofit groups<\/a>, in case you\u2019re interested in linking through to that archive of opinionated posts.

It was stimulating to delve into collage solutions that had to take into consideration multiple viewing orientations \u2014 a worthwhile assignment for someone wrapped up in his two-dimensional practice. The experience also triggered recollections and inevitable allusions to the \u201cMark of Great Art\u201d pieces that were made for my 2008 collaboration<\/a>. Who knows what became of them after they ended up in Europe? Who knows what will become of these peculiar bottles? May they bring joy and perhaps a bit of amusement to those who take stewardship!<\/p>\n

The online auction destination accepts bids until midnight, 12\/11\/22.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\nWhether or not one is vying to secure an original artifact full of private select whisky, it\u2019s fun to take a peek at some of the current bids!<\/em><\/p>\n
