Some photos from the Shave an Artist and Life Exhibition

On Tuesday night we had the opening night of the LIFE exhibition at the Bruce Mason Centre which also involved Shave an Artist and an art auction to raise money for the Leukemia and Blood Foundation. My painting 'Escape' is in that exhibition for the next month and it was the NZ Art Guild that put on this event.

I am a moderator with the art guild and help out with the exhibitions and collaborative projects etc so for this one, I helped on with the hanging of the exhibition on Monday, and was an auction spotter on the night itself.

Over $20,000 was raised between the 13 people getting their heaps shaved and the 13 artworks auctioned off so it was a fantastic night.

These are just a few of my favourite photos from the night. Unfortunately I had to grab my camera in breaks between auctions so I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked. But what a fantastic cause to be involved with and this is one of the reasons why I get so much out of my work with the NZ Art Guild, when I can be involved with such fantastic events that help worthy causes.
