The Friends in Action 7th Art Exhibit is now on the books. It was a fun night filled with food, wine, and art. It was a time for meeting old friends and meeting new friends. The doors opened at 4pm with a crowd ready to check out the art.
We had a steady stream of art aficionados through the night. Most had trouble trying to decide which piece(s) they wanted. At 6pm our live auction started. Forty pieces of art were auctioned off. At times we had exciting bidding wars going on. By the end of the auction, we had raised close to $2,500.
During the evening, appetizers and wine were served. By the end of the evening, the exhibit had brought in almost $2,000. Another $360 was donated from the wine, rent-a-paddle, and raffle. We had over 300 pieces of artwork at the exhibit this year, over 1/3 sold that night.
We wish to thank all the artists that donated artwork. Your work is beautiful and very much appreciated. Without the support of our community, we could not have had an Art Exhibit of this quality.
What a wonderful program this is! Although I don't live in Missouri, I would like to follow this blog to be inspired to promote mental health awareness here, in Arizona, and to be reminded that I am not alone in my recovery process.
