The Light Factory invites you to loosen your tie, let your hair down, kick off your shoes and JUMP at our 30th Annual Auction. Free your mind and enjoy the art, the libations, the food, and the entertainment.
For thirty years, The Light Factory Annual Art Auction has provided photography and film lovers in the Carolinas with a means of winning artwork from contemporary artists.
The Light Factory Auction is a cool event to see great art. It’s also a great place to start a collection. One of the packages available during the auction, Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend, includes an 18 – Karat white gold chandelier style pendant with 16 round brilliant cut bezel set diamonds weighing 0.65 carats accented by a bead detail donated by Diamonds Direct Southpark. The package is coupled with hair and make-up by Fine Art Ph0otographer Erin Hubbs.
While much of the art sells for thousands of dollars, there is also exceptional work from emerging artists that you can get at a great price – sometimes less than $100! All of the packages can be viewed here.

A life-long fat girl, Sommer Johnson decided to strap on some fancy tennis shoes, wrestle into a sports bra that would likely be one size too small (they always are--that's what you get with big boobs), and go on a 38 week journey to run the Peachtree Road Race. In the midst of trying to find her healthier self, she found that her struggle was not all that rare. Between the full-figured audience of her online publication, Gemini Magazine, and friends who were rowing up the fat river with no paddle, Sommer decided to share her journey to help women like her get past their fears (and get moving--literally). A runner newbie, Insanity graduate, Turbofire enthusiast, and foodie experimenter, Sommer Johnson is a 32 year old mother of 2 and wife of 1 who lives in Atlanta, GA.
