I’m thrilled to share that Friends of ESACA’s first ever virtual silent auction is now open! With items worth a total of $18,000 highlights include original art, Hamilton tickets, fresh bread for a year, Leafs and Raptors tickets, wine and so much more. Here’s a peek of one of the items, Real Dreams, an original painting by ESA parent and local artist Johanna Reynolds.
Johanna painted this piece specifically for the auction. She titled it Real Dreams in honour of all of the ESA students and teachers.
