I just found out that a former employee of mine Julie Campbell, who owns The Three Sinks art gallery in Webster is planning an art auction this coming Friday. Here's all the info . . .
"Three Sinks Gallery is hosting a benefit event, St. Louis Artists Benefit for Haiti, with proceeds donated to the American Red Cross and the relief effort in Haiti.
Twenty-five artists have donated work to be exhibited at Three Sinks and previewed here on Facebook. 100% of the proceeds of the event will be donated to the American Red Cross. A silk-screen art t-shirt will be available for purchase online and in the gallery. This limited edition t-shirt will be significant to the heritage and plight of the Haitian people.
The exhibit will be held at Three Sinks Gallery, and will be available for viewing from January 25th through January 30th, 2010. A cocktail reception and silent auction will be held at the gallery from 6 to 9pm on Friday January 29th, 2010.
This event is in conjunction with Finale Fridays, a new happening occurring on the last Friday of each month and designed to give visitors a chance to sip, shop and stroll through unique Webster Groves establishments.
Location: Three Sinks Gallery - 8715 Big Bend Boulevard, Webster Groves MO 63119"
I hope you'll make every effort to attend. Further, I hope you'll pass this message along to your friends/colleagues and your social network. Let's get the word out on this auction and help Julie raise some serious money for the victims of the Haitian earthquake!
