A WELCOME FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JESSICA BORUSKY
Welcome to the Pratt Polka Dot Party!
For some, this is a time-honored tradition gone dormant for four years, and for others, this is our first time joining Pratt’s auction! At Pratt Fine Arts Center, we emphasize the importance of accessible creativity, learning, making, doing, expression, and community. This event is both a reunion for our community and a powerful gesture towards Pratt’s future; a celebration of Pratt’s past and present.
Our party is possible through the incredible work of auction Co-Chairs Nancy and Roger MacPherson and Susan Marabito- without their guidance and experience with Pratt and its supporters and artists, this event wouldn’t be the celebration that it is. This year’s auction is also the result of our amazing staff, teaching artists, students, and donating artists—without them the unbelievable artwork, energy, and talent would not be present tonight. Finally, our fantastic and fearless supporters and partnerships make this event—and all the work we do at Pratt Fine Arts Center—possible. I am excited to build upon that support to uplift and empower our organization into its next chapter.
I am honored to serve as Pratt Fine Art Center’s new Executive Director: learning about the immense and vibrant impact the organization has on so many lives; witnessing how Pratt’s classes and shared artistic spaces create transformational experiences; meeting people who began artmaking at Pratt as children and have grown up to become instructors and exhibiting artists; listening to our communities which forecast Pratt’s potential and identify how our organization can meet these needs.
Pratt is an intersection and a catalyst. Since I started at Pratt, I often ask myself how my role can allow people to find one another, their individual and collective power through art at these intersections. As a cultural organizer, educator, cocreator, and lifelong student, I aim to build bridges which connect the known and mysterious. Building bridges requires strong foundations, consensus, curiosity, and courage—let’s continue to build our foundations using the tools we know with imagination to see where we go next.
With gratitude, J
AUCTION COMMITTEE WELCOME
Dear Pratt Community,
Isn’t it nice to be back together again? After four years apart, we feel it is indeed time for a party. Pratt Polka Dot Party is designed to celebrate that we are back and ready to reengage. We are here at Seattle’s most colorful art party of the year to have an auction that is not only fun but successful. Look around the room at all the polka dots and the smiling faces. This is our community, and we love Pratt.
We love the artists who generously donated their best art. We love the volunteers who always show up when we need them, and we love the new staff who were thrown into this whirlwind as they joined the team. Hopefully tonight you will meet our new Executive Director, Jessica Borusky, who has boundless energy and ideas.
Whether you have come to Pratt’s auction tonight for the first time at the invitation of a friend or are hoping to walk away with a stunning piece of art, or just simply here as a longtime supporter of the arts, we are thrilled and happy you are here to support Pratt, thank you!
We want to foster a creative, inclusive, artmaking community, and provide access to quality education for everyone. Let’s promote the joy and transformative power of art and actively support the development of visual artists!
So Party, Party, Party and raise the paddles high and bid with wild abandon to support the arts center that will make art accessible to thousands of students and artists in the coming year. Cheers!

BIDDER’S GUIDE
Bidder Numbers
You will be given a small (bookmark size) bid card at the registration desk as you enter, which will include your bid number, entrée choice, and table number. If you and your guest requested separate bidder numbers, you will each receive a packet listed under your individual names. If you requested a shared bidder number, you will receive a single bidder packet. Also at registration, you will be asked to sign up for Express Pay and confirm/provide your contact information (email, cell phone number, mailing address) for billing and receipts. At your dining table, you’ll find a large bid card with your name on it for use during the Live Auction. It will have your meal ticket attached for the waitstaff (Chicken, Vegan, or SPECIAL). Place your meal ticket in front of you on the table to help your server. All sales are recorded by your bid number.
Silent Auctions
To bid on items in the Silent Auctions, write your bid number opposite the dollar amount on the bid sheet. You must use pre-printed bid amounts. You may skip lines if you wish.
To guarantee your purchase of a Silent Auction item, enter your bid number in the BUY IT NOW box. The person whose number appears in the BUY IT NOW box will immediately own the item.
At the close of each Silent Auction, a Pratt representative will circle the highest written bid for each item. In the event of a dispute, at the discretion of the auctioneer, final oral bids will be taken from those who have already placed written bids.
Live Auction
The Live Auction will begin with dinner service at 7:30pm and will continue until all items have been auctioned.
To make a bid, hold up your bid card. The highest bid number acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. A Live Auction bid acknowledged by the auctioneer is a legal contract to purchase the item. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the piece may be withdrawn, and new bidding initiated, at the discretion of the auctioneer.
We are delighted to welcome Ian Lindsay to Pratt as auctioneer for this evening’s festivities. Ian is an auctioneer, actor, and acting teacher. He assists a wide range of non-profit organizations from Puget Sound and beyond. A former member of the Seattle Arts Commission and Shunpike, Ian works to promote the fiscal health of the arts in Puget Sound region and beyond.
Raise the Paddle
During the Live Auction, auctioneer Ian Lindsay will invite guests to Raise the Paddle in support of Pratt’s mission. Once Ian Lindsay announces the level at which you would like to participate, hold your bid card high until he reads off your bidder number.
Express Pay
Enroll in Express Pay when you check in. By registering for Express Pay, you can avoid standing in line to pay for your purchases at the end of the night. To participate in Express Pay, a designated registration assistant will swipe your credit card or hold a signed check made out by you to Pratt Fine Arts Center. These will be kept on file for the event. At the close of the evening, your purchases will be paid as you have directed. If you do not make a purchase during the event, your credit card information will be deleted or your check will be shredded. A Guest Statement receipt for all charges will also be emailed post-event.
Check Out
Pratt Fine Arts Center accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, cash, and personal checks as payment for auction purchases.
Express Pay participants receive priority assistance. Pratt representatives provide Express Pay participants with Express Pay Guest Statements as they enter the
checkout area. Review your statement to make sure all of your items are included, and then proceed directly to the art pick-up area to claim your purchases without stopping at the cashiers’ station.
Those not using Express Pay should stop at the cashiers’ station after 9:00pm to receive a Guest Statement based on their bidder number and pay for their purchases. You will need to show this Guest Statement as proof of payment to the assistants at the art pick-up area in order to claim your purchases. Items become the property and responsibility of the purchaser upon receipt. All sales are final the night of the auction. The buyer is responsible for removing all artwork and other purchases from the auction premises at the close of the event. In the case of an oversized item, Pratt representatives will work with you to make special arrangements in the art pick-up area.
Sales Tax, Deductibility, and Service Fees
No sales tax will be charged for purchases made during this event. Pratt Fine Arts Center is a registered 501(c)3 charitable organization. If your purchase price for an item exceeds its fair market value as stated in the catalog, the overage may be deductible as a charitable contribution. Please consult with your financial and tax advisor for details.
Art and experience purchases will be subject to a standard 10% processing fee which will be added to your purchases upon checkout. These fees allow us to provide you with quality auctioneer services, accurate data entry staff, and professional cashiers. Processing fees do not apply to Raise the Paddle contributions.

ABOUT PRATT FINE ARTS CENTER
Pratt Fine Arts Center began in 1976 as a tiny art facility with a big vision to build a community of artists and an educational center providing the tools and training to support the creation of art. Today, Pratt makes art accessible to everyone, offering a place for spirited exchange, self-expression and personal transformation through creativity. A unique multidisciplinary visual arts resource, Pratt provides education and instruction, community programs, and professionally equipped art-making facilities.
Your artist is inside
Pratt Fine Arts Center is proud to serve as a lasting tribute to Edwin T. Pratt, who devoted his life to improving quality of life for all people. Mr. Pratt served as Executive Director of the Seattle Urban League from 1961 to 1969. His assassination in that year by unknown assailants was deeply felt by many Seattleites who depended on Pratt’s calm leadership during a period of social upheaval.
For more than four decades, Pratt Fine Arts Center has been providing the Northwest community with the opportunity to experience art. Pratt’s classes reach nearly 4,000 students and our studios serve more than 300 working artists each year. Our cIasses, lectures, and programs reach more than 20,000 people annually. Affordable studio space with an unparalleled array of equipment provides artists of all ages and abilities the opportunity to learn, experiment, and create.
Land Acknowledgment
Pratt Fine Arts Center acknowledges that we are on the traditional land of the Coast Salish People, including the Duwamish People, past, present and future. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.

IN MEMORIAM
With a heavy heart, the Pratt Fine Arts Center community mourns the passing of beloved woodworking artist and Pratt instructor, Daniel Pittsford. Woodworking artist and Pratt community member, Kim McIntyre, worked often with Daniel at Pratt and shared, “Daniel was known for his energy and charisma. He taught wood turning and lots of pen turning! He also taught leatherworking and a few other wood classes.”
In addition to teaching many classes at Pratt, Daniel also supported the Pratt community, providing regular woodturning demonstrations at the annual Fall Open House event and artwork donations to Pratt’s Fine Art Auction every year. We are grateful for his many contributions to Pratt and miss his presence in our studios.
