As a fundraiser for their educational outreach program, the Bellevue Philharmonic Orchestra is holding an “Art of the Violin Auction.” Twelve violins, donated by a local music shop, were decorated (most to unplayable extremes…alas) by artists. The instruments go on the auction block in September. Bows and cases were also provided, but photos don’t show if anyone took on the challenge of incorporating a bow into their artwork.
