I know! Last year, when I invited all you Leftover participants to make 14 prints, I said the 14th print of your edition would be used to raise funds for folks who don't have the benefit of wondering what to do with leftovers. And I really, and truly, thought that by early November 2011 I would be able to say that funds raised from the sale of the prints would be in the hands of the folks that make sure that happens.
To be honest, I also thought that Wingtip Press would be in a commercial space by now and we would have hosted this event. But that just wasn't meant to be. HOWEVER, the GOOD news is, we found a venue that is very excited to be our host for this event. So stand by as the gay-la-la is unfolding as I write: We're planning a silent auction at THEE local brew pub! They serve up great food, great fun and stellar brews - and they LOVE art!! So we'll be raising funds to do the best we can to make a difference and spread the Leftover Love.
Stay tuned!
hey Amy, Time flies and life has a way of getting full. You have done a wonderful job of organizing the exchange and sending the show on the road. What comes to mind as I read your latest news is = YAY! I can't wait to hear how the auction goes, Oh ... and thank you!! Any chance we will know any details about the auction?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patricia!
ReplyDeleteI will be making blog posts about the event. Please let me know if there is anything specific you would like to know. I'd love to figure out a way to extend the auction to people outside of Boise. If you have any ideas, please let me know!
