HOW IT WORKS

9:30AM – 11:00AM OR 11:00AM – 12:30PM OR 1:30PM – 3:00PM
*Staff and volunteers break for lunch 12:30PM – 1:30PM. There will be no appointments during this time.
ITEM VOUCHERS
You will receive an “Item Voucher” for each item you choose to bring. For example, if you’d like to bring a table and a painting, you will need two vouchers (one for the table and one for the painting). Vouchers will serve as your admission to the event.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE EVENT
Specialists from Clars Auction Gallery will be at PBS KVIE to provide verbal valuations on hundreds of items! Specialists will be present in each of these four categories:
Fine Art Furniture and Decorative Art Asian Art Fine Jewelry
When you arrive, PBS KVIE staff and volunteers will check you in and guide you to the appropriate specialist. Be prepared to wait in line, although ample seating will be available. You are encouraged to take notes - valuations are not intended to be used for insurance purposes. Typically, valuations last about 5 – 8 minutes with the specialist, depending on the item(s).

To have 3 items valuated, donate $12.50 monthly sustaining or $150 one time.
