By: Lauren Hunter Public Relations “This year’s Faculty & Alumni Fine Art Auction was our most successful yet, demonstrating the powerful interest San Francisco collectors have in giving generously to the scholarship needs of the Academy’s emerging artists,” comments University President, Elisa Stephens. “The Academy is deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from the community and from the university’s seventy participating alumni and faculty.” Each year, the Academy’s Annual Faculty & Alumni Fine Art Auction offers guests an exceptional opportunity to support emerging student artists by bidding on works by some of the finest internationally collected artists that call San Francisco and the surrounding region home. Many of the featured Academy Faculty and Alumni from this year’s auction, including Jo Babcock, Brian Blood, Margaret Keelan, Carolyn Meyer, Kevin Moore, Will Mosgrove, Craig Nelson, Peter Schifrin, and James B. Wood, have representation at esteemed galleries nationwide, have earned coveted accolades in their respective fields, and were present to meet with collectors at the auction itself.
