Tahoe: Lost & Found Art Auction
Sept 19 @ 6pm
Inspired by Fire: Expressions of a Community One Year after Angora.
The art show theme is to capture our sense of what was lost in the fire, as well as what we found: in ourselves; as a community; and in the landscape. It’s also a way to check in with those folks and firefighters who are still out there putting their lives back together one year later.
A printed auction guide will be available. Nicholas Varzos, local auctioneer with 20 years experience in international art and real estate, will be presiding.
Featured artwork: Firefighter art helmet by Melissa Gregory, and “Lake Mother” by Kristen Schwartz.
