The opening reception for our 8th annual Passionate Focus art exhibit was held on May 13, 2010. The evening included a live and silent auction with great prizes including a trip to New York, a weekend stay at the Trump International Towers, the chance to Chef for a day at Charlie Trotter's, sports tickets, theater packages and much more!

The 2010 art exhibit brought together the work of 16 artists—each with a unique vision. The work included paintings, photography, ceramics and textiles. The artists are from across the country and include professionals and amateurs. Eight of the artists joined us for the opening of the exhibit, giving our guests a chance to talk to them about their work.

Thirty-two of the pieces on exhibit were available during our art auction. A total of 18 pieces were sold during the run of the exhibit.
