Cape to Cape Partnership, a non-profit organization founded by Cape Codders to alleviate suffering from AIDS in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, announced a complete line-up of premiere art offered at its benefit auction Saturday, April 29 at 1 p.m. at the Red Inn, 15 Commercial St. in Provincetown.
Auction attendees can preview all silent and live auction lots beginning at 11 a.m. at the Red Inn. Live auction lots are available for viewing now at: www.outercapeauctions.com/c2cauction.htm. All proceeds of this special event will go directly to fund the Bambisanani Project for KwaMpisi, a rural village in South Africa beleaguered by 70 percent unemployment, meager water supplies or sanitation services and HIV infection rates over 30 percent.
The Outer Cape community has rallied around the auction featuring a mosaic of donations-a hand-carved African wooden sculpture chair from Berta Walker Gallery, a portrait of John Lennon by Cape photographer Rowland Sherman, two Robert Motherwell lithographs donated by the Julie Heller Gallery, a “Pink and Red Collage” by the late Leo Manso, two collages by the celebrated Varujan Boghosian, and works by other highly collectible contemporary Provincetown artists such as John Dowd, Denny Camino, Robena Malicoat and John Clayton.
