The WimberleyArt & Soul Soirée held at the Videre Estate last week celebrated the organization’s ten years of guiding arts and art culture in the Wimberley valley and demonstrated impressive support from the community. Two hundred guests attended the fundraiser which included dinner, dancing, silent and live auctions and the opportunity to experience the four pillars that are supported by Wimberley Arts.
To illustrate the literary pillar, guests could browse and bid on a collection of books from Chick Morgan and an antique Underwood typewriter from Susan Rigby. For the visual arts, DR Jones painted a portrait live, and artwork, which included a stained glass panel from Jack Roseman and a glass boot and antlers by Jason Lawson, were offered in the live auction. To represent the performing arts, costumed actors from the Wim- berley Players greeted and engaged guests while musicians performed for most of the evening. To illustrate the culinary arts, guests could bid on a dinner at The Huntly, a Scottish castle in Kerrville.
During the fundraiser, WimberleyArts President Deidre Taylor addressed the guests and revealed the organization’s bold new vision for Wimberley.
