ART AUCTION FUNDRAISER JUNE 16TH – JUNE 19TH, 2021
ART AUCTION FUNDRAISING EVENT – JUNE 16TH – JUNE 19TH, 2021
Art From the Heart is a fundraising event to support the Columbus NextWork Autism program and the Academy of Independent Living. The NextWork program and Academy comprises community employment services and classes in social and independent living skills for those with autism to live a more independent and integrated life in the community. The fundraiser will be a 3-day online auction of the artwork, and in-person art show depending on social restrictions at that time. The artwork will be comprised of commissioned local autistic artists and others from the disability community as well as local artists who wish to donate their artwork.
We are proud to provide a stage for emerging artists in the autism and disability communities. We believe in the talent and passion of our local artists and wish to provide a platform for these artists to be recognized for their work. All mediums will be considered, i.e., oil painting, watercolors, pottery, jewelry, glass work, metal work, photography, etc… After review of initial applications, a selection committee will request a submission from the chosen artists outlining parameters based on the medium. Artist applications can be accessed at the link below.
All artwork will be sold at a public “early bidder” event on June 16th, and then through an on-line auction through June 19th.
