Give & You Receive

This Saturday, April 22 is the famous FreshstArt Art Event & Sale. 7-10 pm in Santa Monica.

The thing I love about this event that sets it apart from other such "auctions" is that it is really straightforward with its division of funds, it is organized well & in an art conducive setting PLUS the selection of works is cohesive & of excellent merit & quality.

Each year 50% of the sale of each artwork goes to the artist then the other 50% goes to the charity. Simple. Everyone wins.
The work is sold for its proper retail value, buyer gets wonderful art, artist gets their income, charity gets a proportionate income - as opposed to auctions where the buyer might get a steal, but the artist AND the charity get pennies. Totally defeats the purpose of doing an art event FOR Charity.

This year the charities are My Friend's Place
an extensive program for homeless children,
and
A Window Between Worlds
an organization that uses art as a healing vehicle for abused children + other great programs.

We here at Gallery Revisited are proud to be a part this year featuring gallery artists Jessica Robbins, Julie Hughes, Sonia Romero. Fumiko Amano will also be participating & so will I....so come get some great art & know ALL of your hard earned money is facilitating the careers of artists and going toward some much appreciated causes.
See you there!!!
