At my last Open Studios event I was approached by DK Haas, an artist and Art for AIDS juror, who suggested I submit a piece for their annual benefit auction. I had heard wonderful things about the organization, the UCSF Alliance Health Project, who runs the annual event and was excited at the opportunity to donate my work to help with their efforts. Well, I'm thrilled to share that one of my favorite pieces, PILLBOX, was reviewed and accepted by the 2015 jury. I'm looking forward to a lively evening of raising money and awareness and being part of the creative community of artists, galleries, art donors and art patrons, sponsors and media the evening attracts.

Here's more information

• Art for AIDS live and silent auction, as their web site states, "is San Francisco’s premier art event benefiting one of the nation’s leading HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ mental health organizations."
• Tickets are available for the evening's events held at the City View  at Metreon on Friday, October 9, 2015 from 5:30 - 10:00 PM.
• PILLBOX, the piece I donated and is available for auction or immediate purchase.
• The full list of 2015 artists who donated art for the evening.
• A photo gallery from last year's event

Update October 12, 2015

I am happy to share that my piece "Sold!" and helped the organization, AHP, who ran a fun and flawless event last Friday. Here is one of the volunteer staffers wrapping up my piece for it's new owner. I look forward to finding out the new owner as well as how much many was raised that night. By the excitement and numbers I heard, I know it was a lot. I look forward to participating again next year!

SOLD! Happy to have my Art for AIDS donation off to its new owner.
