Attendees of the 2009 Ah Haa Art Auction rapt with the show.

The 2009 Ah Haa Art Auction was a huge success raising money for Telluride’s local art school. One of the biggest gala art events of the summer season, the theme this year was: Celebrate Art – Be the inner artist that you want to be, which brought some weird and wonderful costumes out of closets.

Andy Warhol (aka Ashley Boling) was the MC for the evening and the Squidshow Theatre Group brought each live auction item to life with creative performance. Auction items ranged from just $25 to a $12,000 Andy Warhol painting, but with over 120 pieces of art and over 150 goods and services for the taking, there was something for everyone. A high light of the evening was Celebrity Artist Susan Saint James who worked tirelessly to make several large pieces for auction.

The Ah Haa school is open year round and offers classes to people of all ages in not just painting but also dancing, cooking, jewelry making, book binding, ceramics, etc.
