On December 25th/09 a good friend of mine who is an artist along with her artist friend (whom she shared a studio space with) lost all of their art, art supplies, furniture and journals/references among other things to a terrible fire that burned down our studio to the ground.
Wonderful friends have organized a fundraiser for the two of them to help then get a fresh start.
Many local artists and merchants of the neighborhood have generously donated art, products and services for the fundraiser which is the result of a great community spirit.
Here’s what:
Fundraiser on Jan 29th/2010 at the
Third Avenue Gallery
1727 West 3rd Ave from 7-11 pm
FULL DETAILS
There will be a silent art auction and raffles with all kinds of cool goods and art, food, wine and music. Please let others know about it. It'd be lovely to see you at this event.
Thanks so much,
Sonja Hebert
PS. I wish to let those of you know who have an interest in acquiring pieces of mine, that 6 panels of a 16 piece series completed in the late fall where exhibited at the Atsui Gallery in The Evolution of Inspiration show last November. These 6 saved ones were stored at the gallery until the end of December hence their survival. I will send more info and images about these works in early March, but you can always contact me via this email if you have an interest in securing a piece now.
