Auction Updates

Several people have been asking me how the Youthline Auction went so here is an update.

The Auction was held at the newly renovated AGO which was fantastic! The turn out was great - they were at capacity in the space before the auction even started. There were lots of people sipping wine and checking out the artwork, paddles in hand ready to bid. Elvira Kurt hosted and was hilarious as per usual, and the super quick-tongued auctioneer was such a pro.

The drawing that I donated titled "Carefully Placed" went for a little over 3 times the value of the original piece! It was the very first time I stayed in the room while they put my piece on the "block". There was a wee bidding war between a few interested people and it was exciting to see people excited about the possibility of winning the piece.

In the end all the art donated generated over $40 000 for the Youth Line!

So really everything about the night was a great success.
