Wednesday, May 17, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Event supports spay/neuter program AUCTION: Event celebrates arts and music in Sisters Continued from page 1 local artists contribute and have their work framed here. It is our way of giving back to the next generation, by sponsoring these artists with their donated pieces.” The Schmidlings are also a part of the Sisters Arts Association, enhancing the arts community and sponsor- ing local artists by framing and selling their work in their gallery. All the pieces in the art stroll are donated by artists and are then auctioned off at the private auction event at Ponderosa Forge and Ironworks on Saturday eve- ning. Artist and contributor Wendy Birnbaum said, “It feels good to contribute to art in schools and have a part in making programs for kids to learn art.” It is Birnbaum’s fifth year being a part of My Own Two Hands and the art programs at the schools. This year, Birnbaum and Susie Zeitner collaborated on a photo- graph taken by Birnbaum and then inlayed onto metal with glasswork done by Zeitner. Another artist, Jennifer 29 PHOTO BY CEILI CORNELIUS Dennis McGregor, Patrick Lombardi, and Peter Heithoff performed at Sisters Gallery & Frame Shop. Hartwig, contributed a beau- tiful scratchboard cougar piece. “When I first learned scratchboard, I was in high school, I never took art out- side of school. I think it is sad to think schools are taking away arts programs. It builds an immense amount of char- acter in students. I think the more the contribution the bet- ter to keep art in our commu- nity and to keep love in our society,” Hartwig told The Nugget. The Friday art stroll was followed by a free concert at The Belfry, with rockabilly dance band Petunia and the Vipers. Saturday night’s auction at Ponderosa Forge raised thou- sands of dollars for Sisters Folk Festival’s outreach programs. Artists donated paintings, sculptures, jew- elry and woodcrafts for the auction, and bidding was brisk. The highlight moment came when Sage Dorsey — a longtime volunteer supporter of SFF — announced that he would match the winning bid for the wooden bench he hand-crafted for the auction in memory of Dorro Sokol, Boyd Wickman, and Jack Hartman. The winning bid was $5,000, which meant the total was $10,000 — an example of the generosity the community shows in sup- porting arts and education in Sisters.
