Art Auction? an AT:SF poll

2007_01_08_auctioneer.jpgThe AT Mothership has charged each of the four city sites this month with including an art-for-a-local-charity auction in the proceedings for AT's annual Art month.

Here at AT:SF we're feeling uncharaacteristically hesitant about jumping on the bandwagon -- but only because this wonderful idea comes so close on the heels of a similar local (and wildly successful) effort, the Kim Family Auction, which was spearheaded by reader Lisa Congdon.

We have a great charity in mind (Drawbridge, an arts organization for homeless kids that was just destroyed by a fire) and we're raring to see what we can do to help them, but before we start organizing, we're wondering if there's still enough goodwill and give-away spirit out there among our local readers (including the gallery owners and artists out there to fuel another effort like this. So let us know...

I would love to donate something, and I know some other local artists who probably would as well.

If you'll accept "non-local" artists, we'd be happy to donate something.

What types of art will you accept for donations? Modern only or all styles?

I'll definitely donate, just as long as you don't have a problem with the content of my work...

Hi Rucy, Type is irrelevant. Why don't you email me a link or an image?
