A hive of activity

Bourgueillothérapie 2013 art auction raises over 7000€

Ludo Ragot explains how the auction works

At the end of the weekend of Bourgueillothérapie the work produced by the artists over the two days are auctioned. This year the sum raised by the auction this afternoon was just over 7000€.  The money raised through the auction and other events during the weekend go to A.F.S.R.T, set up to help children with the rare Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome http://afsrt-olivier.pagesperso-orange.fr/accueil.htm

Here are a few photos from the auction this afternoon:
