Truro Center For the Arts (also Know as Castle Hill) will be holding a Silent Auction to benefit earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, this Saturday night from 7-10 pm, at the Castle Hill Barn on Meeting House Rd. in Truro, MA.
The event will also be a "Red Party" - attendees are encouraged but not required to wear red. There will be music for dancing, hosted by D.J. Matty Dread.
I've donated a painting from my Grenada group, entitled "Rain For The Young Palms", which can be seen in the "Gallery" section of this website. When I went to Grenada in 2004, just 10 weeks after devastating Hurricane Ivan, I was very moved by the bravery, resiliance and optimism is saw in the Grenadian people. Like the people, even the coconuts were beginning to root, thrive and grow. The painting is a metaphor for peoples' courage and hopes for the future.
I hope the Auction is a great success!
