Numbers were being raised in the air as a range of art work was auctioned off to support Rotorua's iconic St Faith's Anglican Church.
The art auction was held today at the Whakaturia Dining Hall in Ohinemutu.
There were 37 works up for auction altogether and proceeds went to the St Faith's Church Ohinemutu Fund through the Geyser Community Foundation.
Some of the artists who had work auctioned included Martyn Evans, Susan Currie Rakei Kingi, Zoe Ireland, Wi-Kuki Hewitt and Hikurangi Manga and Albert Te Pou.
Organising committee member Gay Kingi said they had not done an art auction before and this was a one-off fundraiser for the church.
