Welcome to "Herons Happen!"
There has been a change in the date of the Great Heron Release Auction to November 13th, due to a conflict with another major Port Aransas event. |
A "Hatching" is a presentation of the latest additions to the 2010 "Herons Happen". These events are terrific gatherings and they are open to the public. August 15 - Gold Falcon Jewelry and Gifts, 15201 S.P.I.D on No. Padre Island, 3pm to 5 |
Welcome to "Herons Happen!," a fund raiser for the Animal Rehabilitation Keep in Port Aransas (More commonly known as the ARK.) These lovely aluminum Herons will be transformed into works of Art to be auctioned off to the highest bidder at the Great Heron Release Auction in November. Friends of the ARK, a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) non-profit organization, will sell the aluminum sculptures to a sponsor who can choose an artist of their choice to transform them into fabulous works of art. The artists will be paid by the sponsors $200 for the work on the Heron. The artist will keep the copyright for the art.
