Speakeasy Raises Funds for the Georgia Museum of Art
|
2/19/10 Speakeasy, a major fundraising event for the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art (GMOA), was held Saturday, February 6, 2010, at the home of C.L. Morehead Jr., who also served as the largest sponsor of the event. This rare opportunity
to view Mr. Morehead’s home and extensive art collection
included dinner, tours of the collection conducted by GMOA
curators, a wonderful jazz performance by Faith and an exclusive
silent auction. About 100 guests attended, and the auction brought in nearly
$5,000, which will be used to fund the museum’s educational
programs and services. The top selling lots at the auction were
a framed oil painting by Mary Hardman titled “Transition” and
Jim Fiscus’ photograph “Doll Cabinet.” In all, 11 lots were
donated and auctioned. Speakeasy was sponsored by C.L. Morehead Jr., Blount Photo,
Walton Media Services and Interactive Attractions. For more information see the GMOA Web site at
