Show Us the Monet!
The Brighton Art Guild's Annual
Sponsorship Gala and Art Auction
By invitation only
April 2, 2011
7:00pm
Hyne House
623 W. Main Street
Downtown Brighton
Show Us the Monet! is as much a party with the emphasis on fun as a fundraiser. This event celebrates our community sponsors and their support of the Guild's continued involvement in Brighton and the greater Livingston County area for the last 10 years.
The setting is perfect for a great time, the historic Hyne House, home of John and Deb Tunis. They have graciously invited us to use their home for the event-and what a spectacular place! John and Deb will open the entire house for the evening, so guests will feel comfortable to tour at their leisure. The food and beverages are not to be missed! The wine will flow with several of Brighton's wonderful restaurants donating a wide selection of hors d'oeuvres and desserts.

Brighton Mayor Kate Lawrence assisted our auctioneer, Hawk, in auctioning 29 pieces of fine artwork by Guild artists. Click here to view an online catalog of the artwork up for auction.

Yes, the auction was the fundraiser part of the evening, but equally important, guests met and talked with the Guild's board members and artists.
Music for the evening was provided by the three piece jazzy blues band Michael May and the Messarounds. You can sample their music online at: www.sonicbids.com/MICHAELMAYTHEMESSAROUNDS
