The Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre’s inaugural art auction took place on Friday, April 19. Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre CEO Tanya Stevenson thanked local auctioneer Craig Winter for orchestrating the event and helping raise more than $2000 for various homelessness initiatives throughout Queensland.
“Craig had 95% of the art on hand and we were just waiting for the right event to attach it to. The opening of the Wandering Teapot and Kindness Garden was the perfect opportunity,” Tanya said.
“We had such a wide variety of art, from eighteenth century through to modern eclectic art. There was something for everything and everything was very reasonably priced.”
Tanya said the Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre hoped the art auction would become an annual event which would be held around Easter each year.
