On the day
Donated artworks fill the Pop-Up Gallery @ 56 Magellan Street Lismore ready for
our Art Auction fundraiser held on Mothers' Day 2012.
Prior to the auction: The day's auctioneer Michael Godbold and local art-lovers get to
know the artworks, while Serpentine members set up for the event,
and Art in the Heart's Stephen Nelson talks with
Lismore Mayor Jenny Dowell about the Pop-Up Gallery renovations and future plans.
Mayor Jenny Dowell officially opens the auction, Serpentine gallery Manager Corinne Batt-Rawden
welcomes all, and thanks donating artists, those present and our sponsors.
Jenny receives a thank-you gift of flowers.
Listening to the speeches: Serpentine committee member Celestine Fedley, wearing an artwork we didn't auction!
