It's come to be known that the season is wrapping up when Society Photographer Annie Watt hosts her Photography Exhibition. On Tuesday, April 19th, 2022, for the second year, Palm Beach owners Sarah and Andrew Wetenhall and the Colony Hotel co-sponsored her Invitation-only fundraising event, One Night Only Exhibition, honoring the importance of a good education, acknowledging his year’s recipients, The Viner Scholars, and postgraduate student Zig Hinds.
With the assistance of her fabulous co-hosts Switfy’s Robert Caravaggi, Philanthropic Eleanora Kennedy, and The Viner Family, Annie welcomed over 200 guests. This year, the amazing work done by Annie and her very talented photographers captured in over 600 photos displayed on the walls and on tabletops in the hotel’s beautiful solarium was the focus of the well-attended party while the guests drank champagne and nibbled on the delicious Hors D’oeuvres.
When asked why she decided to hold the event, Annie commented with a smile, “Throughout the season I photograph people attending fundraisers and charity events and those attending, and see how important it is for them to give back to the community, the idea of the holding an end of the season exhibition was an easy concept, everyone who was invited to attend my exhibition, is IN the exhibition.
“I encouraged my guests to “Take Your Photo”, and to please make a generous donation, reminding them that 100% of their donations will be going to the charity." Perched on a high seat by the door was Annie’s sister Sandi Victor accepting all forms of payments that included everything from credit cards to Venmo and Zelle, thanking them for their donations, and reminding them that the money would be going to well-deserving students. Many of the guests who have attended Annie’s previous Fundraising Exhibition in NYC and Palm Beach, had their checkbooks ready.
