Online Art Auction for Hurricane Harvey Relief Raised Over $1800!
Our "Labor of LOVE" Online Art Auction to Benefit Survivors of Hurricane Harvey raised over $1800 this Labor Day!!! We are definitely going to "Flood Texas with LOVE" as we send $1800 to local Texas Charities to provide hurricane relief! Thank you SO much to all of the talented heart-centered artists and generous bidders who participated in this online event! Special thanks to fellow artists Jane Bell Lassiter and Monica Martin who not only donated their beautiful artwork, but helped coordinate this event. Huge shout out to our highest bidders Steve Scott and Jane Bell Lassiter who went above and beyond with their donations! Special thanks to my family for putting up with me during this busy time and to Paul Tury for not only putting up with me but adding his graphic design talent to the mix! Shout out to Stephanie Gagos for being a helpful online auction resource.
The participating artists from across the U.S. and beyond not only shared their beautiful artwork, but also messages of hope with titles like: Together We Are Stronger, A New Day, Blooming Softly, Reborn, Winged Victory, Repairing the World, Love Rocks, just to name a few! The winning bidders not only felt good about donating to a great cause, but were excited about the artwork they bid on. A few of our artists and bidders have Texas ties, making their participation in this event even more meaningful.
All in all, a great way to spread hope and healing to others through art!
With HUGE amounts of love and gratitude!
Jackie

"Let's Flood Texas with LOVE!" Art for Hurricane Relief!
I am a mixed media artist from Virginia whose heart is breaking with each new photo and update of the flooding in Texas due to Hurricane Harvey. My family and I were in North Carolina for Hurricane Matthew last fall and though we experienced major flooding and power outages it was no where near as catastrophic as what’s going on in Texas right now.
I am coordinating an online art auction to benefit the victims of Hurricane Harvey. I am reaching out to artists near and far who have an interest in humanity and helping others. I would be honored if you would participate in this heartfelt project. I am asking each artist to donate one signed original work of art.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. Shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer and can be paid directly to the artist. Please let me know if you are interested in participating either as an artist or a bidder as soon as possible by emailing me at jackietury@gmail.com. Once I’ve heard back from you, I will email instructions to artists for uploading an image of your artwork, link to your website, etc. and instructions to buyers for bidding in the auction.

Let’s flood Texas with love and weather the storm together!
Much love and thanks,
