Silent Partner Program Going Strong

Somerset Fine Art has partnered once again with two different galleries to assist them through the silent partner program. This program allows Somerset to contribute art to be framed and donated in the name of the gallery to nonprofit causes.

The Elsinore Framing and Fine Art Gallery and proprietor, Steve Narkaus, donated James Seward's original art piece, The Covenant, to Salem First Church of the Nazerene.


The Glory of San Pietro by Rod Chase


In addition, Wide Water Gallery in Ottawa, Illinois donated The Glory of San Pietro by Rod Chase to Marquette Academy. The Academy celebrated their 29th Annual May Merriment Dinner and Auction on May 7, 2011 at the High School Gymnasium. This year’s theme was the Kentucky Derby. The event was attended by over 200 guests who enjoyed a Gourmet Feast catered by local restaurants and food suppliers. During hors d’oeuvres and dinner a large silent auction was held along with games and raffles, followed by a live auction.
