🎨 Silent Auction Spotlight: “Lady” by Mireille Gracia Belinga 🎨

We are honored to feature “Lady", a breathtaking 3-canvas artwork from Akib'art Art Gallery, in our JLFS Day at the Derby Silent Auction!

“Lady” is a representation of African elegance—a stunning collage painting made from silk fabrics adorned with the traditional "bogolan" pattern, a handwoven and hand-painted African textile. This piece is a subtle blend of modernism and tradition, with an incredible 3D effect that makes every detail feel alive.

More than just a painting, “Lady” is an experience. She will embellish your space in a very special way, captivating your guests with her beauty and mystery. But remember—a Lady is fragile and delicate. Not everyone can touch her, and she must be treated with love, protection, and care.

Valued at $800, this extraordinary piece will be available for bidding at our Silent Auction on Saturday, April 5th. Can’t attend? No problem! Bidding will be available online, so you can bring home this remarkable work of art from anywhere!

A heartfelt thank you to Akib'art Art Gallery for this generous donation in support of Junior League of Fort Smith's mission!
