Willunga Circle of Friends Art Sale & Auction
Our new banner was a wonderful welcome to everyone who attended the Art Sale & Auction on Saturday 11 November 2017.
Over a 100 pieces of art were donated resulting in difficult decisions on which pieces to set prices for and which to auction.
The rooms in Bethany Hall looked beautiful with art of all styles and eras from modern local landscapes to English etchings, still lifes to dog sketches.
It was a lively scene as people arrived and perused the art, glass of wine in hand. Judith Barr was an excellent auctioneer providing information about each of the 40 pieces and encouraging the bidding.
It was good to see people leaving happily with paintings tucked under their arms. Best of all over $1,500 was raised to support refugees and asylum seekers.
Warm thanks to all those involved particularly Judith Barr for being the auctioneer, Carol and Thia for coordinating the auction and keeping track of all the art works, Rosie for designing and arranging the printing of the banner and flyers, Carol and Dennis for donating and serving the wine, the Uniting Church for the use of their church hall, to everyone who helped set up the exhibition and helped out on the day.
