The Art with Heart Auction was first introduced to me by my good friend, Rachel. I noticed a beautiful piece of artwork in her home and she told me she won it in the silent auction at this wonderful event. I loved the piece and wanted to know more about the event.
So after my research and attending this year's events here's what I found out:
--artwork is donated by many talented artists across the Southeast and the fundraiser benefits nonprofit organizations (For 2013 it was Safe Alliance formally United Family Services)
--It was hosted by Colleen Odegaard and Ramona Holloway of WCNC's Charlotte Today show
--This year's fundraiser included an extra special celebration...a new Safe Alliance shelter which allows the organization to help many more people in crisis
--Tickets were $100
--There were over 100 pieces in the auction (silent and live) so there was sure to be something that fits everyones' artistic style. I know there were a few favorites on my list!
