The Art Gallery of Garrett College has announced a sale of art to benefit the people of Haiti. Local artists are being asked to donate original works of art for sale at reasonable prices to raise funds for Haiti relief.
The show and sale will be Valentine’s Day, Sunday, Feb. 14, from 1 to 4 p.m., and is scheduled to coincide with a massive world wide initiative in the art community referred to as “Help–Portrait Haiti.” Thousands of art sales will be occurring all over the world on Valentine’s Day as an expression of “love” for the people of Haiti. All proceeds (100%) will go to Haiti through the internationally recognized “Hope For Haiti Now” organization.
“The crisis in Haiti is an emergency that requires our attention immediately, as well as our assistance for many years to come,” said a spokesperson. “Musicians have held concerts, celebrities responded, and many relief agencies and church organizations have hastened to the call. Now, artists are joining the effort with a belief that there is power in numbers, and we can make a difference.”
