‘Tis the time of year for gifts. It feels like spring is jam packed with occasions and celebrations - weddings, graduations, birthdays, Mother’s Day (better be good because you’re late on this one!) Father’s Day - whew. And with all these occasions, it’s hard to find special gifts.

Well, Green Hill Center is here to help. Our Art a la Carte Online Auction is full of unique and fun gifts. If you’re ready to go above and beyond the tie or a card with a check inside- think outside the box and consider gifts that give twice, to your loved ones and to support Green Hill Center’s exceptional programming.

You can check out the bounty of options HERE but I’ve got a couple of ideas for you…

Golf. If you know a golfer - Dad, grad, Mom, sister the Fore! package, golf for 4 at Roaring Gap Club in gorgeous Roaring Gap, NC. This Donald Ross-designed course has reaped praise and showcases the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains. Give your golfer and their friends time on the practice range, 18 holes of golf and lunch and beverages in the Golf Shop Grille. They can use it between June 1 and September 30, 2010. FORE!

Wine. Give them something that improves with age. I’d like to think we all improve with age, but alas…Think of a gift that will stay with them and increase in value. The magnum bottle of 2005 Mas Doix Costers de Vinyes Velles in the auction will be at its peak between 2018-2040. 2040?! Imagine opening that bottle and reminiscing about your graduation, birthday or Father’s Day 30 years ago.

Golf or wine not quite right? How about art, jewelry, mountain retreats, Mexican getaways, or culinary adventures? These are the type of gifts they’ll remember. And the type of gifts you can feel GREAT about giving. Gift, and receive the good feeling that comes with supporting the educational and exhibition programming at Green Hill Center for NC Art.
