by Laurel on Fri 16 Apr 2010 08:22 AM BST

 


Bidding couldn't be easier, but in case of any confusion here are our 'Easy Auction Rules'.  Of if you prefer, they are in Arabic on www.straysofabudhabi.com I know I prefer the Arabic version

There's still time to bid by phone, or leave your highest bid 'on the books'. Just have a look at our instructions below! If you have any more questions, find me at questions@moorethanart.com

 

 
ALL money raised is for 'Strays Of Abu Dhabi' Charity. So, thankyou for your participation and support.
1. Age. You must be over 18 years to bid.
 
2. This is an Art Auction only. It is not possible to buy an artwork before the auction.
 
3. Leaving a 'bid on the books'. If you really like a painting and hope to win, it is possible to leave your 'highest bid' with the auctioneer in advance. Then he will start the bidding at your price. To do this please register BEFORE the auction: your name, ID, address, phone-number and highest bid at questions@moorethanart.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (All your personal details are confidential)  If you are lucky and no one bids higher, you will win at the price you gave to the auctioneer.
 
3. Phone Bids. If you are unable to attend but are available by phone on the evening, it is possible to bid by phone. To do this, please register your name, ID, address, phone number before the auction at questions@moorethanart.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

3. To bid, Please register before the auction at the 'Registration Table'. Register your name, ID, phone number and address. All your details are confidential. Then, collect a BIDDING NUMBER of your choice.
 
4. Your BIDDING NUMBER is very important. When bidding starts and you wish to bid on an artwork, hold your bidding number high, so that the auctioneer can see it.
 
5. You may bid on as many artworks as you wish.
 
6. STOP bidding, if the price exceeds the price you are willing to pay.

View Article  Fabulous Opening Night at The Millennium Hotel.
by Laurel on Sun 11 Apr 2010 03:20 PM BST

Here's just the first few pictures of the Grand opening night of our Charity Art Exhibition at The Millennium Hotel, Abu Dhabi. What a wonderful night it was too.

Big thankyou to all my volunteer helpers, who worked so dilligently to help set up the Art Exhibition (Bless masking tape!)

Here's me cutting the ribbon at the opening with (left to right) Mr.Moine Kandil, Millennium Hotel manager, artist and SAD volunteer Kathleen Beesley and  Mr. John Habib, President of the American Chamber of Commerce

 

Here's me talking about my racehorse painting 'Favourite' up for bids, no reserve on 17th April 7:30 at the Millennium Hotel, Abu Dhabi. With Mr. John L Habib and Managing Director Mr. Abdullah Naeemat.

The artwork looked so fabulous once up and arranged and so many people were impressed with the sheer variety of styles and talent.

Big thankyou also to all the media who showed so much interest in our artists :) And to the Millennium Hotel for being such a gracious host.

Yes, here's me singing my favourite song for you 'Corcovado'. Such a sweet song, originally sung by the lovely Astrud Gilberto and accompanied by the smoothest of sax players Stan Getz.

Hope you enjoy. I'm doing a lot of wierd winking, which I apologize in advance for! Can't imagine what I was thinking?
