Two Charity Auctions I have donated artwork to

Auction nuumber 1:
I have donated 2 prints to the “doing our pART” auction to raise money for the Vermont Food Bank . This auctuon is the Vermont Arts Council’s second online art auction to benefit the Vermont Foodbank. Last fall, 80 artists and arts organizations stepped to the plate by donating goods and services to the event. When the bidding closed, $10,254 in art had been sold and the Vermont Foodbank received 100% of the proceeds. The contribution equaled 15 tons of food, or approximately 27,000 meals for hungry Vermonters.

Unfortunately the Foodbank’s need is just as great this year--one in eight Vermonters is currently tapping into their services. The online auction comes at a time when many Vermonters are feeling anxious about the approaching winter months. With the high costs of both food and heating fuel, many people will be forced to choose between keeping their houses warm or putting a meal on the table.

To that end the Arts Council is inviting artists, artisans and arts organizations to contribute to an online auction. It will take place from November 27 – December 4, 2008 and 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Vermont Foodbank. Contributing artists and arts organizations can opt to receive 30% of the proceeds from the sale of their contribution OR they can donate the full amount to the Vermont Foodbank

Auction #2:
I have donated a scarf to the SDA auction. The Surface Design Association has nearly 4000 members worldwide. Each member creates textiles, paper, art, etc in his or her unique style. Each scarf, shawl, DVD or book in this auction has been created by the artist for this auction.
The Surface Design Association auction supports the Creative Promise Awards, conference scholarships, various SDA grants, and additional member benefits

Until November 15, the auction will be open with fabulous scarves, shawls, workshops and books for you to bid upon.
