LOCAL ARTISTS STEP UP TO BENEFIT THE SOUTH MARCH HIGHLANDS
A group of local artists have donated works of art to an online auction benefitting the efforts to save the South March Highlands. The proceeds will be split between the artists and the South March Highlands – Carp River Conservation Inc., the lead organization in the effort to save the SMH.
A web-based fundraising art auction to support the on-going work of South March Highlands-Carp River Conservation Inc (SMH-CRC) will be held from Nov 27 – Dec 4, 2011. Proceeds are being shared with the artists. The share going to South March Highlands-Carp River Conservation Inc. will go to support its efforts to protect and preserve one of Ontario’s richest ecological treasures for all Canadians.
Our heartfelt thanks goes to the artists who have been so very generous in contributing their wonderful works to this auction. This is the first time we’ve organized something like this and the art community has also been very patient and forthcoming with advice as we “learned” our way through the process. For all these reasons, we want to express our deep appreciation for all their participation in this event.
We are hoping round 2 is a bigger success than round 1. A number of the artists have agreed to resubmit paintings. Visit this page often as the start date draws near as new works will be added!
