Plan now to attend the 4th Annual Art of Healing Auction & Exhibition set for Saturday, March 24, 2011 from 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm, at the Sanderson Farms’ Corporate Office. The proceeds from the event will go to the South Central Health Care Foundation to help cover the cost of community health screenings, community health education programs and other community health initiatives. Lives have been saved as a result of these efforts.

This fund raising event offers everyone in our community who has been touched by an illness the chance to experience healing through art. Over 200 pieces of artwork were donated for the 2011 event. Artwork included acrylic and watercolor paintings, pottery, hand-made jewelry, wood work, photography, and more. Each piece included a brief narrative written by the person donating the piece of art about someone they know who has struggled with a life-threatening condition.

Those attending the 2012 Art of Healing Auction and Exhibition will enjoy looking over the collection of art as they listen to live music. A wonderful array of food will be provided for guests during the evening. The event will conclude with a live auction.

Tickets are $30 per person and can be purchased at the South Central Regional Medical Center Gift Shop, the Art of Healing Center at South Central Place or by clicking Ticket Form to download a submission form. The cost of the event is covered by ticket sells and from contributions made by the businesses sponsoring the Art of Healing allowing all of the proceeds to go directly to the South Central Health Care Foundation.
