Welcome to the 2022 Hybrid L’Arche Auction
  Tacoma’s best party is coming to you live and in-person,
  and online as well! We are so glad you are joining us for
  online bidding and our live event. We are ready to renew our
  connections with you through our 2022 auction theme: Weaving

                                      Many people have been touched
                                      by their connection with L’Arche

                                      booth, or as significant as years or
                                      even decades of mutual relationship
                                      with one or more core members who
                                      have touched your life.

 We invite you to consider
 what your connection with
 L’Arche means to you. Please
 support us with a gift that will
 ensure that our mission, and
 our connection with you, will
 continue to thrive!

14. Poppies - Giclee Print by Eric Weigardt
     Limited edition giclee print by Eric Wiegardt. The artist has been
     awarded the highest honor in water color painting: the Gold Medal
     and Dolphin Fellow from the American Watercolor Society of New
     York. About this painting, the artist says, “While conducting a plein air
     painting trip in France, I was taken with the ubiquitous poppy fields
     - their intense red complemented the green fields in perfect juxtapo-
     sition.” What could be more appropriate to honor L’Arche’s French
     roots? The finest materials are used in the printing process ensuring
     that the finished giclee will not show any signs of fading for up to 100
     years (unless hung in direct sunlight). Framed and ready to hang, the
     artwork measures 16” x 22”.

     Thank you, Friends of L’Arche, Eric Weigardt, and Dani
     Broberg
