We are overwhelmed with gratitude following the incredible success of our recent art auction event, and we want to extend our deepest thanks to all those who made it possible.
First and foremost, we thank Gordon Boyd, whose generous donation of his personal art collection—in memory of his beloved late wife, Sharon—set the tone for a night filled with beauty, community, and compassion. This touching tribute brought depth and meaning to the entire event, and we are truly honored to have been entrusted with such a gift.
To our talented local artists, thank you for sharing your creativity and contributing your work to help make this event such a vibrant and inspiring success. Your dedication to the arts and the community continues to uplift and unite us all.
A huge thank you to:
- Acorn Auctioneers, for hosting a lively and engaging auction that helped bring our art to life and into the hands of so many appreciative patrons.
- Keuka Spring Vineyards, for treating our guests to a delightful wine tasting experience that perfectly complemented the evening’s atmosphere.
- Alex Portal, our talented caricature artist, whose lively sketches brought smiles and laughter to attendees of all ages.
- Perry Ramsey from the band Up the River and Jayden Yerdon for providing beautiful live music.
We are also grateful to our generous sponsors:
- Embassy Suites Hotel
- Spa Fine Art
- Kettlewell & Edwards Frame Shop
Your support made every part of this event—from planning to execution—truly exceptional.
Finally, a very special thank you to our partner, C.R.E.A.T.E. Community Studios, for their incredible Art Therapy programs within RISE. Your work transforms lives and helps bring healing through creativity, and we are proud to stand beside you in this mission.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you all. Together, we turned a night of art into a celebration of love, memory, and hope.
