Izzy's Dream Art Auction Pics

Hey... Just wanted to share some pics with you guys from the Izzy's Dream Silent Art Auction...this was an amazing event! The vibe was perfect...from the lighting and interiors of the club lobby to the art and the jazz trio!

We hope to kick off another one in the late November time frame...keep posted to the site for dates and other announcements...

This is just one of the 15 or so tables with various pieces on them!

The awesome staff at the check-in tables...you guys rock!!!

More art...we were all so busy that I didn't stop to appreciate the art...


People relaxing at the auction...the venue was killer...a must see

We had 50 + artists from over 12 states and over 170 original pieces

This piece had a bidding war going on...

You can see from each shot how many artists were represented

The Izzy's Dream table...with information on adoption, Hidden Treasures Home and journals of our adoption journey...

We feel blessed beyond words to be allowed into a small (but beautiful) section of God's great story and we are called to carry His story to the ends of the earth!!!

Thank you so much for coming out to our first Izzy's Dream Silent Art Auction. We appreciate you partnering with us to be a blessing to the children of Hidden Treasures Home.

We had such an overwhelming amount of art donated that we plan to have another auction sometime in the fall.

We had a wonderful time, the art was outstanding, the music was incredible, the food was yummy and the company was awesome.

It was so nice to see our community come together for this project. To all the artists that donated to us, we could not have done this without you. Thank you for giving generously of your talents. To all of those that helped us set up, take down and run the event, thank you for giving generously of your time and to all of you that came to buy art and donate to this ministry, thank you for giving generously of your treasures. We are all called to help the orphans in this world and it's beautiful to see it all come together in such a way that brings glory to God. Blessings to you and your family,
