Is your knowledge of the sport of polo limited to the divot stomping scene in "Pretty Woman" and the Ralph Lauren ads with a hunky Argentinian named Nacho?
Well, aside from briefly dating a polo player in college, mine was too...until I attended my first Denver Polo Classic last year. What an event!
This year's Classic kicks off tonight with a black tie gala, and the Sapiro Art Consultants team is pleased that we will be in attendance as corporate sponsors. We have contributed to soliciting some great artistic donations for both the live and silent auction and look forward to seeing how much money the items raise for the Denver Active 20-30 foundation, funds that are ultimately distributed to over some of the 50+ children's charities they support in our community.
In my opinion the best auction items are unique and offer an experience in lieu of just an off-the-shelf item. Barbara Baer, a talented local sculptor with whom I have done numerous projects, is offering something that fits in this category. The successful bidder of her lot tonight will win the opportunity to collaborate with Barbara and our team in the creation of a custom piece for home, office, or garden. It will be a hands-on process, and the patron is encouraged to bring images of other art pieces, architecture, poems, quotations, etc. to inform the concept. It's going to be great fun.
