Spring Time Art, Music & Butterflies Was a Tremendous Success!
April 13, 2014 icfadmin , , , ,

 

We are extremely thankful to everyone that made this evening a night to remember. Our hosts María and Mike opened their beautiful home, magically decorated for the occasion. All our guests felt very welcomed. The walls showcased all the great art pieces donated by a cadre of talented artists. Some of them local, others native to León, México where the new Imagina Ecological and Cultural Center is being constructed.

The evening started with appetizers and drinks while the guests browsed and bid during the silent auction. We enjoyed amazing musical performances by Darko Varga at the piano, Gareth Johnson at the violin and the voice of opera singer Mason Schoeppl. They dazzle the audience that gathered around them to listen to a great selection of music. We were honored to have these renowned musical artists to share their time and talent for this noble cause.
Four of the artists were present that night. Pily Orozco and Claudia Aranda traveled from León, México and displayed their art and the work of many other Mexican artists. Patti Hughes and our youngest one, Stephanie De Varona also shared their art. They were able to mingle with the bidders and talk in detail about their work with them.

Gordon Johnson added a lighter period in the night when he conducted the live auction of five of the available items while making us all laugh with his charismatic personality.

We ended the night with a delightful selection of beautiful pieces of sweet edible art donated by Patti Ransom and Valerie López.

We want also to thank all the artists that donated their work for the event: Fernando Arena, Quona Bullivant, Juan Jorge Díaz, Antonio Ehrenzweig, Cristian Eterovic, Isabel Fernández, Connie García Sainz, Jerónimo Graue, Gustavo Guzmán Gutierrez, Beth Hartigan, Alejandro López, Beatriz López Cárdenas, Michelle Mena, Tara Mitton Catão, Ricardo Motilla, Anabel Peicher, Ana Beatriz Rodríguez and León F. Ruiz.

Andrea Doyle for the tickets to the Boca Ballet Theatre’s Dance Fest, Total Wine for the wine tasting item and David and France de la Rosa for the week at their beach condo.

Gifts certificates from Ginnie from Salon Cielo, Lorena Moraga for Hair fashion, Whole Foods for their two cases of wine and Carlota Rodríguez for a facial.

Of course thanks to everyone that participated as host, volunteer, bidder, artist, Imagina Children Foundation Board of Directors, etc. You are making a difference in the lives of great children in León.
We hope to see you in our next event.
