Peace of Triune Art Auction on April 11 benefits Triune Mercy Center and Greenville’s homeless
April 5, 2019
What began as an unassuming art sale in the church dining hall has grown into a much-anticipated Upstate fundraising auction benefitting Triune Mercy Center and its programs that minister to Greenville’s homeless.
On Thursday, April 11, the Upstate Woman’s Club of Simpsonville will host the Peace of Triune Art Auction for the seventh time. The event in Studio 220 at the Hyatt Regency Greenville will begin with a silent auction at 6:30 p.m., followed by a live auction at 7:30 p.m. conducted by professional auctioneer and art consultant Daniel Lyles of Dan Lyles Auctions.
The auction features the works of professional Upstate artists alongside works by Triune artists, and all art is donated. The evening is presented by Southern First Bank and sponsored by Performance HCM, AVL Solutions, Dan Lyles Auctions and Jackson Marketing, Motorsports & Events.
The Peace of Triune Art Auction looks a bit different than that first art sale in the church dining hall, but the mission remains the same: To keep The Art Room at Triune well stocked with canvases and supplies and provide a place that lifts people up.
“Our art room has become one of our finest ministries because it mixes so seamlessly people who live on the street or in shelters, college students and people who work,” said Triune Executive Director and Senior Pastor Deb Richardson-Moore. “We’re offering a place where people can come in and create, or just come in. It’s a very welcoming place where friendships form, and where people gain acceptance and confidence.”
Supporting the Peace of Triune Art Auction gives hope and opportunity to those who desperately need it, said the Upstate Women’s Club of Simpsonville’s Kristin Decker.
“Triune’s goal is to empower rather than enable, with a ministry that offers services aimed at transformational possibilities for those who Christ called ‘the least of these,’” Decker said. “Triune lives up to its mission statement: To share Christ’s love by meeting physical needs and providing life-changing opportunities to the disadvantaged.”
There is no admission fee for the Peace of Triune Art Auction, but food will be served so attendees are asked to pre-register at www.eventbrite.com. For information on featured art, follow @peaceoftriune on Facebook.
