Nine artists participated by donating jewelry pieces to the Fandango Under the Stars Online Auction with funds going to support Guadalupe Home, an organization that helps women and families experiencing homelessness. This year, due to COVID, the event went virtual so bids were submitted online. Here's the update from Sky:

"Greetings everyone, I'm happy to see [our] donations being looked at and bid upon. The pictures do not do the pieces justice but you can see them at the Online auction: one.bidpal.net/fandango2021/browse/all, on Facebook: facebook.com/CatholicCharitiesSA/, or on Instagram: instagram.com/catholiccharitiessanantonio/. Thank you all for the great support for this event. ~ Sky".


Let's give a big hand to Sky for providing such a great community opportunity and a round of applause to our participating artists! For photos and descriptions of each piece see our previous post: Guadalupe Home Jewelry Team Update.

Put your art to work helping homeless moms

Guadelupe Home
One of our Metal Arts Adventures presenters has brought us a really cool opportunity. Metalsmith and lapidarist Sky Paxton donates jewelry to Guadelupe Home, a transitional shelter for pregnant and parenting mothers who find themselves homeless. This year, he's inviting us to join him in providing pieces to their fundraiser auction. Finished, boxed pieces valued between $150-$500 need to be mailed to Sky by April 25th and he will submit them to the auction folks. So far we have two spots filled - Sky and Anne Wolf - so we're looking for just 6 more people.

From Sky, "This will be my second year giving jewelry pieces to this charity for their annual auction. You are making a donation of your piece so its deductible from your taxes at a fair market value and they will provide a letter for this. The advantage to us is that in the artist Bio, we can include your website or contact info so you can accept future work commissions. Last year I donated 10 pieces that raised about $3200 for them. My lifelong shipmate and rockhound partner sits on the board for them. This is how I became involved. They only have enough time in the evening to auction 8 pieces. Their dinner is in May.".
Rather than providing emergency shelter for a night or two, Guadelupe Home offers a safe, long-term, no-cost home for pregnant and parenting mothers of children under three who are interested in making changes for a better future. Learn more at ccaosa.org/guadalupe-home/.
If you would like to join in just let us know in the comments  below and we will follow up. Thank you!!
