ASPIE, a nonprofit that creates supplemental income for adult artisans with disabilities, will introduce new artists and partner organizations at its 2026 live auction at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14, at The Barn at Paradise Station, 312 Paradise Lane, Ronks.

The auction will include more than 20 original pieces of art ranging in value from $50 to $3,000 from 20 member artists. Bids will be taken from the floor and via a Zoom link, where the auction will be streamed live.

From 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., attendees can meet the artists and learn about how they create their art. A variety of affordable art pieces will be on display, separate from the auction, and can be selected for a donation. A reception will take place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., with food and drinks available and music provided by Temple Avenue Jazz. Those attending in person can register for the auction, obtain bidding cards, and preview all the auction artwork. The live auction will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Successful bidders will donate to ASPIE, which will donate to the individual artists.

Among a dozen new ASPIE artists are Carly Long and David Allen.

Long is a budding photo artist with a growing portfolio. Her photos feature the beauty of nature scenes and simple scenes of everyday life. Long lives with cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair to get around, and her camera is mounted to her wheelchair to allow her to capture photographs whenever the moment is right.

Allen is a retired contract sales manager and pastor who has found inspiration to paint from God. He first photographs his subject and then uses his photo as a point or reference to compose the painting. Among his favorites are landscape themes. In 2018, Allen experienced a life-threatening strep infection in his right foot and calf and almost lost his leg. He endured 18 days in the hospital, three major operations, and nine months of wound care. He still struggles to use his right leg for extended periods, particularly when standing.

The Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development of Lancaster and Insight Arts of York will both introduce new artists and artwork as ASPIE partners at the auction.

Sponsorships are available until Friday, March 20. For more information, contact Jerry Buckwalter, ASPIE president, at 207-412-8090.
