The Animal Refuge Center will hold its 29th Annual Starlight Auction at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa Saturday, Nov. 25, at 6 p.m. This event promises to be an unforgettable evening of art and philanthropy, with Myra Robert’s original acrylic painting, Bailey’s, dedicated to supporting ARC’s vital mission.

“We are thrilled to have Myra Roberts support for the Animal Refuge Center,” said ARC Board Treasurer Betty Hughes. “The Starlight Auction is our signature event and largest fundraiser of the year. Having a Myra Roberts original available for sale during the live auction could attract a record setting sale to benefit the care of our cats and dogs, community education and eliminating euthanasia.”

Roberts has captivated art enthusiasts not only across the United States but also in Europe, earning her a place in the private collection of none other than the legendary Robert Rauschenberg. Her signature style encompasses the nostalgia of retro bathing beauty art, as well as an extraordinary ability to capture the essence of animals, wildlife, and the natural beauty of Florida.

In addition to the auction of this exclusive painting, Roberts will be offering limited-time pet portrait commissions, with a portion of the proceeds earmarked for ARC’s fundraising efforts. This unique opportunity allows art enthusiasts and animal lovers alike to contribute to a meaningful cause while acquiring a cherished piece of artwork.
