Harpist Chelsea Carter entertained with her original composition, "Heavenly."
Watercolors and acrylic paintings by artist Leigh Anne Adkins were on display during the event.
WALLA WALLA-The Painting for Passage show debuted in the grand lobby of the Marcus Whitman hotel featuring the watercolor and acrylic paintings of Leigh Anne Adkins.
Adkins' artworks favor the abstract expressionist style popularized by artists like Jackson Pollock and were at auction during the Spring Barrel Crush event.
Collectors circled the bidding table to the gentle strummings of harpist Chelsea Carter. Carter's original composition, "Heavenly," filled the great hall right up to its vaulted ceilings with ethereal sounds fit for a cherub.
The silent auction was held for the benefit of the Walla Walla Alliance for the Homeless, a non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing and resolving the unmet needs of the homeless population of Walla Walla.
The Alliance's Sleep Center, which houses about forty people nightly, will receive the proceeds.
The event was well-attended by a seemingly endless stream of art enthusiasts traveling between adjacent wineries.
