Summer 2009

Now in its 18th year, Ah Haa’s annual fundraiser is the must attend summer event. Each summer, art lovers and community members support the Ah Haa School by bidding on a wide range of artwork created by artists from throughout the area and around the country.  More than 100 artworks and myriad services and excursions donated by the region’s artists, business and supporters of the school are auctioned in live and silent auctions. Many of the pieces on the auction block have been specifically made for the event by the community’s talented artists, and you’ll find just as many treasures donated to the silent auction.  The evening consists of an energy-charged live and silent auction, putting the fun in fundraiser! 

The Ah Haa Art Auction is as much spectacle as fundraiser and this past year was no exception. The theme, Celebrate Art | Be The Artist You Want To Be, inspired Warhol and Frida look a likes and many other fun and outrageous costumes. The live auction featured an over 15 original pieces from local and regional artists and an electric ART car. The Ah Haa was honored to have Susan Saint James as our Celebrity Artist. Susan worked closely with local artist Robert Weatherford to produce three powerful, vibrant and emotionally charged mixed media pieces. Two that were the stars of our live auction.  Stay tuned for the announcement and date of next year auction!
