Web Head Group sponsoring event as a Birdies for Charity® fundraiser
San Antonio, Sept 18, 2007

San Antonio art aficionados again will have the opportunity to bid for works by local artists and support a worthwhile cause at the opening event for "An Art Auction," on Friday, Oct. 5, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the historic Friedrich building, located at 1617 East Commerce. Proceeds from this unique live and online charity event will benefit The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio.

The artwork includes an array of paintings, photography, ceramics and other media, and will be auctioned off beginning at 6:30 p.m. (See a partial list of featured artists at the end of this press release.) In addition to the auction, which begins at 6:30 p.m., the event will feature musical entertainment by Dj Knos, hors d'oeuvres by West Ave. Kitchen and a cash bar. The evening, which is being hosted by the technology firm, Web Head Group, is free and open to the public.

This event is a follow-up to the first "An Art Auction”, held Aug. 3 at the Web Head Group. Since then, additional artworks have been solicited. Artists receive 75 percent of the proceeds from their art sales, while the remaining 25 percent is donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio. Pledges and donations to support the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Antonio may be made online as well at anart.webheadgroup.com.

"Our first art auction, held in August, and the interim online art auction, was a success," said Janie Martinez Gonzalez, CEO and president of Web Head Group. "We are pleased to offer the San Antonio community a second opportunity to purchase beautiful art pieces by local artists and support such a worthwhile organization as the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio,"
