Tabla Rasa Gallery will be
hosting a fundraiser for
Haitian disaster relief. I
am sure I am addressing a
community that like Joseph
and I, feel helpless beyond
words. So many in Haiti are
barely surviving without
medical care, food, water,
shelter as they desperately
seek loved ones, or mourn
their innumerable losses.
The generous artists of
our area are donating
artwork to the following
event at:
Tabla Rasa Gallery
224 48 Street
between 2nd and 3rd
Avenues, in Sunset Park,
Brooklyn
Saturday, January 23,
2010
1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
The back room
presentation space will
be used to hang the work
in a display which will
be constantly "turning
over" as donations are
made and new art
replaces work being
taken.
Anyone writing a check
of $75.00 DIRECTLY to
one of the designated
charities* below
can select an artwork
11" x 14" or
smaller. Anyone donating
$150.00 can select from
these or a larger
works. In
this way, 100% of the
donations will go to the
charities.
Any and all
contributions are
welcome.
A special thank you
to the artists are
donating their fabulous
work to benefit this
desperate situation.
Please take the time
to enjoy the
collection they have
so generously
donated, read about
their artwork,
browse their
websites, support
them after the
auction, and spread
the word about their
art. Unlike most
vendors, they are
only able to claim
the cost of
materials they use.
There will be
contact information
labeled on the back
of each work, and we
encourage donors to
contact the artists
directly.
We will be collecting
checks made out directly
to the following
charities:
