Heartfelt Thanks: Justin Gaffrey Spring Auction Success
Following a successful Spring Auction, Justin Gaffrey extends heartfelt thanks to collectors, supporters, and the entire community for participating in this year’s charitable event benefiting the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation.
The auction united longtime collectors, new patrons, and arts supporters through a curated selection of original paintings, artist studies, historical works, and rare pieces from Justin’s archive. The vibrant community participation made the event both exciting and meaningful, strengthening support for arts initiatives across the Gulf Coast.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and support surrounding this year’s auction,” said Justin Gaffrey. “It’s always meaningful to see artwork bring people together while supporting organizations that cultivate creativity and cultural growth in our community.”
A heartfelt thank you to the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation for hosting a wonderful event, complemented by incredible bites from Dan Vargo of Dan Vargo Fine Coastal Cuisine.
Cheers as well to everyone who supported the South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival, which featured live painting and sponsorship from Justin Gaffrey.
Special thanks to Jonathan and Maxine for their help installing a dynamic street-level gallery presentation that elevated the event experience.
The auction reflects Justin’s ongoing commitment to making original artwork accessible and celebrates the spirit of collecting, storytelling, and artistic exploration that has defined his studio practice over the past 25 years.
Justin Gaffrey Gallery extends sincere appreciation to everyone who shared the event, placed bids, visited the gallery, and supported the mission of the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation (MKAF). We are proud to announce that a percentage of all proceeds was donated to the Mattie Kelly Arts, a great community resource.
The Spring Auction’s success is a testament to the strong creative community that continues to inspire and surround the gallery along 30A.
