Captivated by the bold strokes of Jonas’ brush, as the paint
moves and flows to the beat of the music, the audience will become a part of
the energy and creative process as several new paintings spring to life before
their eyes. While the paint is still wet, we hope those eager, art-loving
philanthropists in the audience will be bidding on the paintings during the
action-packed live auction. Proceeds will benefit the charity Caring
for Children, in this emotional and exciting event.
Allen Brasington, our dynamic auctioneer for the event, will
fire up the crowd and inspire them to open up their hearts and their pockets to
keep children safe. This new and inclusive auctioning style brings people
together who have a common philanthropic goal, to delight in the arts.
Since the auction items are painted during the event, those with winning bids
will have an incredibly deep connection to their new treasures and a story to
tell for the rest of their lives.
As Pablo Picasso said, “Every child is an artist. The
problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” Jonas Gerard encourages
the ‘artist’ in all of us with his energetic and creative style of expression,
infused with healing energy and love. “We want to see all kids grow up to
be happy, healthy and secure and so we are excited to show our support for
these children, through the Caring For Children organization,” said Jonas, “and
I hope my painting performance will inspire people to open up their hearts and
show them we care.”
Caring for Children provides a wide variety of
community based services in Buncombe County and Western North Carolina,
including foster/respite care programs and family preservation services. When small children find themselves parentless or without a safe home to
shelter them, this charity is there to keep them
off the streets and enrich their lives so they may have hope to grow up healthy
and whole. For more information please visit them at www.Caring4Children.org
