This event in support of Toronto Distress Centres was a glamourous evening mixed with art and auction. VanMar Designs & Decor donated their services in planning this event (put on in memory of Alex Hurst & Marc Fournier), and held a very organized and beautifully catered evening. With a turnout of over 100 people, artwork from local artists was on display around the venue. Everyone had a chance to look around and place a bid for the silent auction. The majority of the evening was filled with mingling between artists and bidders. From photography to painting to sculpture, every piece was sold by the end of the night. To top off the evening, a quick paced 1-hour live auction was held. The auctioneer moved to the second floor to auction off paintings in every size, colour and texture. Every one of them was bought. Net proceeds from the event are being donated to the Toronto Distress Centre providing emotional support, crisis intervention and suicide prevention.
I must say, I had a fantastic evening and I am anxiously awaiting the next art auction!
