The Burn Auction

What's a Burn Auction?
It's insanity and it's gonna be so fun!
20 original pieces of art by 20 local artists (including Lukas Evergreen of Marten Evergreen). If the reserve is not met, the piece is immediately incinerated!

The Burn Auction is being held at 10 Barrel Brewing downtown Boise (9th & Bannock) on First Thursday November 6th starting at 5pm and is sponsored by Dead Bird Local Art & Framing (of Art in the Bar & Meridian Arts Festivals).

Come down early from 5-7pm and view the artwork ahead of time. Choose your favorite, then register for your chance to save it from complete destruction! The auction begins at 7pm.

This is going to be insanely fun!

walking through walls and the creative conversation

I believe art is a language that transcends all language barriers. It's able to get past the walls of cultural differences, age, race, gender, religion, politics, economic standing, education, distance, even time. Creativity is like a conversation. There are conversations going on all the time. Conversations with the artist and the work, with the artist and the Divine, with the artist and nature, with the artist and humankind, with the artist and self. Creativity allows me to come alongside others and enter into the conversations that are already happening. I love listening to conversations. If I'm invited into the conversations this brings about collaboration. Collaboration is an invitation to the sharing of ideas and it's a huge part of building relationship. I believe humankind is a relational people. We need each other. I believe we were created that way by a creative God who is all about relationship with us. And I believe we've been given creativity as a language to relate to each other with. When we connect into the conversation through creativity and allow for collaboration, we are helping to build community together and this fosters relationship. And the walls become invisible between us.

what others are saying about me:

"I love watching her audience as Lisa paints before their eyes. When she's done, people come up and take pictures, and many spontaneously share the meaning the art has for them personally, often in tears. Lisa's artwork is beyond profound; she's in tune with people's spirits."

-Jessie Nilo, Director of VineArts

"Lisa is so strong, and she knows so many techniques and so many people. In all that she does, she exposes people's hearts and opens them up. It's very comforting to have a friend like Lisa."

-Lukas Evergreen, performing artist
