Fine Line Creative Arts Center staffer, Susan Lyons shares this back story about the upcoming auction:

" Earlier this year, Fine Line lost a friend and volunteer, John Abel. He served on the board, gallery committee and made many of our furniture items for the galleries and studios. He has left his mark here and we miss his wry wit and dedication. Carol, his wife, passed in 2017 and volunteered at various locations throughout the Fox Valley. Fine Line inherited John and Carol’s vast art collection. It was their wish that this collection be used to benefit Fine Line. In order to fulfill their wishes, we present the John and Carol Abel Art Collection – this is an online auction that will go live on July 18^th. We hope that you will peruse the magnificent offerings and find something you can’t live without. All proceeds benefit Fine Line Creative Arts Center and will be used to support our arts programming.
