Amy’s Art Auction


June 2007

We love Amy. Although she’s only been part of the Finer Frames family for a year, we wanted to throw her an auction party. Her battle with cancer was beginning to take a toll on the emotions as well as the finances and we hoped that raising a little money would help cheer her up. It worked!

We sent out the call to artists and were overwhelmed when we received original art donations from 40+ artists. Our favorite supplier, Larson Juhl stepped up and donated mats and frames so that we could make each piece of art look amazing.

The auction rocked! It was held in my backyard garden on a warm June evening. Everyone was relaxed, drinking wine and listening to Brother Bob play his funky blues guitar. Our favorite customer/art professor, Clay, did an amazing job as auctioneer - teaching as he was selling. Everyone must have felt the magic because they emptied their pockets. We raised over $9000 for Amy! Put this one in the record books for our most successful fund raising event ever.
