Many of the pieces did receive a few bids with many attendees walking away with a piece of art.

And the art varied from photographs, paintings and jewelry.

The subject matter also varied from floral, Bermuda landscapes and more.

Members of the judiciary including Chief Justice Richard Ground and Puisne Judges Ian Kawaley, Charles-Etta Simmons, Carlisle Greaves and Norma Wade Miller attended the auction.
