We've got unfinished business, you and me

As the philosopher said, “unfinished business always comes back to haunt you.” How about we put something to rest, while giving new life to something else?

This was the collage I’d hoped you could bid on in March 2020, during the annual Artist Trust auction gala. But of course you couldn’t, because… COVID-19. However! Now you can bid on “Common Ground” at the online art auction! The kick-off party happens Thursday, April 8th.

As always, Artist Trust splits the final auction price with the artist who donated the piece; they fund their grants, workshops and other artist resources with their auction proceeds. Even if the pandemic has snuffed out your party mood, you can still donate in other ways — and your gift may help sustain the artists’ lives as well as their careers.

The takeover rumors are true

For 48 hours, when Artist Trust talks to you on Instagram… it’s my online voice you’ll hear. I’m taking over their Stories this weekend!

Here’s the part I’m most looking forward to: including you in a live conversation with my artist friends!

I partner with Artist Trust whenever I can, because their support can make an immediate difference in an artist’s life. Most recently, their COVID-19 relief fund has raised and distributed $525,000 to artists on the financial brink. Tangible support is rare — most people just talk about how important artists are to society without backing it up.
