Oakhurst's Solarium Auctions Work by Local Artists

The Decatur nonprofit held its annual Patio Party fundraiser on Sunday.

The Solarium at Old Scottish Rite held its annual community party and fundraiser Sunday, featuring an auction of rain barrels, bird houses and a mailbox decorated by local artists.

The most popular piece of artwork was a birdhouse designed to look like the logo of the city of Decatur. The work, by Oakhurst resident Andrew Poole, drew heated bidding and sold for $700.

The event also featured food from local caterers and music by the Decatur based band The Dammages. (Full disclosure -- the author of this report is a Patch editor and a member of the Solarium's board.)
