Guests gathered at The Westin Sarasota Feb. 23 to celebrate the award-winning artwork of local high school students.
The Bash was held in support of the Education Foundation of Sarasota County. Throughout the evening the top 25 artworks were on display for guests to view and potentially take home — after a generous donation. The top six through 25 pieces were available in the raffle drawing, and the top five went up for bid during the live auction. Â
