volunteerism


I volunteered over the weekend for the art auction they hold annually here in town for the art school. I took photos at the setup and during the event, which was pretty neat. I was able to witness a true auctioneer during the live auction who spoke a mile a minute in what sounded like a lot of mumbling, in addition to the bidders' dollar amounts every couple seconds. Thank god I didn't have money to afford any of this stuff because it looks like it can get quite stressful. Wayne had a painting in the silent auction that sold, and there were lots of other pieces of art, with many, shall I say, on the quirky side. I studied Art History, but I tell you, there is a lot of art I just don't get. But there were bidders, so - to each their own.
