ARTMA

Last night, I attended the ARTMA gala with another artist friend.  We have been donating our art to this fund-raising event for many years.   ​ARTMA is a unique, funky, and fabulous biennial auction of art.  The proceeds support the non-profit Morgan Adams Foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life and survival rates of children, teens, and young adults diagnosed with cancer.

ARTMA attracted more than 300 donating artists and more than 1,000 art-buying patrons.  I donated one of my Rolodex Art Books to this event and was gratified seeing it had several people bidding for it.  It was the first time I have exhibited my book so it will be interesting to see what it finally sold for.  

​This organization really knowd how to treat artists.  Besides providing 2 complimentary tickets to the event, they also send an email after the event to all of the artists, telling us who bought our art and how much it sold for.  I was happy to see how my book was presented and seeing other artwork presented in a gallery format.  All in all, it was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday night.
