For the BICAS art auction, my father and I created pieces for the auction and I volunteered to help with the auction; specifically setting up the bid sheets for the day of the auction.
Setting up the bid sheets for that night’s auction
In helping with the auction, there was one thing I noticed about how it was run that reflects how BICAS functions as a whole; there was not one single person that seemed to be in charge. All the BICAS employees knew what had to be done and how it was to be done, so I could go up to any one of them and ask if I could help with something. When I arrived to set up the bid sheets, I was a little confused at first because I felt like an outsider coming into an already running machine. However, I found that everyone was open to some suggestions I had to setting up the sheets. Overall, it seemed like the processes in setting up the auction are ever changing and ever experimenting to find the best possible way to set things up and that depends on the new perspectives people bring.
Early on the night of the auction.
The night went smoothly and I heard a lot of positive feedback from the attendees. There were a lot of impressive pieces and I had to stop myself from bidding on everything myself! Overall, I think the auction was a huge success. However, I would have liked to have learned about anything that didn’t work or any improvements BICAS wants to make for next year’s auction. I think that sort of information would help us grow and improve our understanding on how events like this function.
