Last Friday we held our annual charity art auction at Leaf Tea Shop & Bar. The event was full to capacity and the audience were enthralled by the electric compering skills of auctioneer Paul O’Keffe. Amongst the bidding wars there were some great pieces of art picked up for a generous amount. We will be loading photographs of the event up this week and Arena would like to thank everyone who took part, submitted work, bought work or attended the event for making it another succesful event.
