Art Auction to Benefit Theatre Odyssey
An original monotype by artist Riley Dexter and an original manuscript by playwright Dylan Jones will be auctioned April 17. The online auction is being handled by Sarasota Estate Auction with 100% of proceeds going to fund Theatre Odyssey productions.
The original image was painted in 2023 in conjunction with the writing of the play, and this archival ink on paper was printed in 2026 exclusively for auction, depicting a young girl’s picture in a frame sitting on a table, surrounded by other objects that also play a key role in the story. Signature in print bottom right. Titled in pencil bottom left. Numbered 1/1 in pencil bottom middle. Signed and dated 2026 in pencil below signature. 13-1/4 x 17-1/4 in.
The script, “On the Shores of Gitche Gumee” by Dylan H. Jones, is spiral bound in protective covers, with Riley Dexter’s artwork as the cover illustration. NOTE: The auction winner will receive both, with a personalized message from the author and artist on the inside cover.
