Join us for the third Victor A. Yanchick watercolors art auction
A select collection of paintings by VCU School of Pharmacy Emeritus Dean Victor Yanchick will be available for auction 5-8 p.m. Oct. 27 at The Valentine, 1015 E. Clay St. in Richmond. Proceeds from sales will go toward pharmacy student scholarships.
Lisa Schaffner, director of public relations and marketing for UNOS and former news anchor for WRIC-TV (Channel 8), will serve as auctioneer, bringing her own special energy and sense of fun to the proceedings.
Watercolor is Yanchick’s medium of choice; his work includes landscapes, pastoral scenes, still lifes and themes from the American Southwest. He served as dean of the School of Pharmacy from 1996 to 2014. This is his third school-sponsored benefit; a 2012 auction raised nearly $11,000 for student scholarships.
Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be provided as guests peruse the items for auction and enjoy the musical stylings of third-year pharmacy student and singer/songwriter Kailey Conner.
