Update

All but one of the auctions is now complete (click here to see it…a great little painting donated by Josh “Shag Agle”). So far we’ve received bids for over $4,000 to be donated to Gigi’s Playhouse! Thank you for opening your wallets for a great cause.

And while I’m thanking people, let’s not forget the artists who donated brushes, prints and even paintings. We’re humbled and honored to be able to work with these artists in our gallery, and even further humbled by their generosity in donating for the Brush Project.

What is the Brush Project?

The Brush Project is a charity auction where you get the chance to purchase a unique piece of artist memorabilia, one that isn’t usually available to collectors….the artist’s brush.
