Mel Trotter Ministries is doing something new! As the largest provider of services to people experiencing homelessness in West Michigan it will hold its first ever Art & Experience Auction.
The auction will highlight art from local artists at Heartside Art Ministry and throughout the community, as well as donated pieces from personal collections.
Proceeds raised from the auction will benefit Day Center Operations at Heartside Ministry, a division of Mel Trotter Ministries. Beth Fisher, Chief Advancement Officer at Mel Trotter Ministries, says quote, “We are tremendously excited about this new event and the positive impact it can have in our community,”. “This event will be a wonderful way to recognize the artistic talents of many people in our community, and help us celebrate those talents in a meaningful way.” End quote.
Items up for bid will include paintings, sculptures, photography as well as experiences offered by local venues such as wine tastings paired with a local restaurant, a local sports package, and a private chef experience in the winner’s home with their friends.
While many items will be available via silent auction, select items will be auctioned live at the event on March 24. The event is free to attend, but does have limited capacity.
