Bust a Move: Silent Auction and Charity Gala
Fort Wayne Museum of Art
Thursday, October 2 at 6 PM
Live auction and charity gala with cocktails, food, readings, and live music.
The charity-driven Fort Wayne Derby Girls teamed up with Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana, The Steffen Group, Don Hall's Restaurants, and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art to raise funds for services and supplies for women with breast cancer in Fort Wayne.
On October 2, 2008, the organizations will host an art exhibit and silent auction in conjunction with local artists, breast cancer survivors, and businesses. Aptly named “Bust a Move,” the event hopes to raise over $10,000. Some of the artists participating: Terry Ratliff, Cara Lee Wade, Matt Kelly, Jeffrey Crane, Jeff Stump, Nick Fabini, Donny Manco, Patricia Edwards Jerry Seabolt, Santa Brink, Lynn Rowe Reed and more! Get a sneak peak at http://www.fwderbygirls.com/BustAMove/sneakpeak.html.
The Why:
For “Bust a Move”, local artists and women have volunteered their talents and their bodies to create unique, inspiring cast representations of the female bust and the emotions associated with breast cancer. Each cast will be painted and auctioned off for charity.
About Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana:
Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana is a not-for-profit agency providing free non-medical services to people with cancer and their families in northeast Indiana. It serves people who live in Allen, Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, Noble, LaGrange, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley counties.

Chicago artist, Emily Wiser presents a collection of sterling silver, gold filled and semi-precious stone jewelry inspired by shapes in nature.

The biennial fundraising event takes place at Lakeside Park, Fort Wayne, Pavilion #2, from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Some of the artists painting are: Betty Fishman, Suzanne Galazka, Jerry Hertenstein, Nick Just, Tom Keesee, Nancy Longmate, Don Osos, Terry Ratliff, Doug Runyon, Bill Shewman, Sarah Stoll, Anne Tirey, Pat Weiss, Leslie White, and the “Two Sipsters,” Beth Wheeler and Lori Marquette. Lisa Ransom-Smith can’t make the event but will donate a piece for the auction, as will the Bradleys, Norm and Dixie.
The Wet Paint Auction is an educational event and fun for the whole family. Artists begin working at 9 a.m. and finish at 1 p.m. The artists will have their easels set up all over the park, and the public is invited to watch them create. Silent bids may be made all day at Pavilion #2, but most of the bidding will take place after the painters bring their wet artwork to the pavilion at 1:00 p.m. Bidding ends at 1:30 p.m., and winners can then take their wet masterpieces home.

Deb Washler, Artlink’s Executive Director says of the event, “We always have a wide variety of talented artists participating in this event. The wonderful artwork they produce for our benefit is really appreciated. And the crowd of art enthusiasts who do the bidding walk away with some really good deals. We always look forward to this event because it puts the artists and the public together to interact. It really is educational for the public to see the creative process firsthand. They are able to watch a painting develop from start to finish and if they like, take it home.”
