Some 350 artists and guests enjoyed a return to Art in the Round in person last week with absolute enthusiasm. Bidding on art was competitive and the live auction saw a top bid of $2000. Live pledges and gifts were then made to the Fund the Mission appeal adding to the advance online contributions for a total just shy of $60,000. The evening was capped by the drawing for the winner of the Bottles to Bordeaux raffle who will enjoy an exclusive experience at a chateau in Bordeaux, France. Check out event photographs that convey the excitement of the artists and the enjoyment of all who attended.
Enormous thanks to event co-chairs Jen Brandenburg and Laura Ward, and all of the committee members and faithful volunteers who made the night a success. We are also grateful for the generosity of our title sponsor, Scientific Plant Service, and all the patrons and sponsors who contributed to the event.
