Moonlight Picnic also features a silent auction. Get ready to place your bids on an array of extraordinary items, generously contributed by our wonderful community of businesses and individuals! Proceeds of this fundraiser support programs that make Art Accessible to All.
Golden Age Conversation (48x60"), the stunning piece by celebrated artist, Ronald Boaks, will be one of the premier items up for auction at the Moonlight Picnic. This captivating artwork will be on display for in-person viewing starting August 5th.
This artwork, with its harmonious brushstrokes and soft ochre background, embodies both Romantic and Modernist elements. The graceful forms of female torsos and floating lily pads evoke a timeless beauty, while the ladder symbolizes our aspirations toward greater love, understanding, and spirituality. This masterpiece invites each viewer to breathe, enjoy, and interpret its profound message in their own unique way.
