The Monroe County Learning Bank Network will host “Art for Education,” an entertaining and fun evening with a live-art auction fundraiser on Saturday, July 23, at the downtown Monroe Bank & Trust community room, 102 E. Front St.

     The live auction “fun-raiser” will benefit the scholarship fund for Monroe County Adult Education Programs, making it possible for people who have graduated from the Learning Bank Network to attend college. 

     Registration and art preview begin at 6 p.m. with the live auction at 7:15 p.m.  More than 150 items and local art will be available for bid for every taste and budget.  Tickets are $25 each or two for $40.  Ticket price includes savory hors d’oeuvres, a complimentary drink ticket, dessert, refreshments, a cash bar and a door prize ticket.  Attendees also will enjoy live music and local artists. 

     The art, memorabilia and collectibles come from Regency Fine Art in Atlanta, Ga.  The pieces come in a variety of media with well-known artists such as Salvador Dali, Thomas Kinkade, Norman Rockwell, Leroy Nieman, Patricia, Marc Chagall, Alvar, Jim Buckels, Walt Disney and many others.  Also available will be sports memorabilia, as well as music and movie collectibles from the nostalgic past to present-day celebrities. Everything is custom matted and framed and comes in a variety of sizes and price ranges.  In addition, some pieces by local artists and locally donated items from businesses and individuals will be available. 

     Items will be available in live- and silent-auction formats.

     Tickets are available at Monroe Bank & Trust, 10 Washington St., at the Monroe Public Schools Administration Building, 1275 N. Macomb St., and The Learning Bank at 1102 E. First St.  For additional ticket sales locations, contact Miranda at 265-4200.
