Art For Life 2025

On Sunday, October 26, I attended the Art For Life fundraiser in downtown Columbus's new Arts District. This event occurs every two years and benefits AIDS research. Artworks are chosen from submissions and auctioned in either the silent auction or the live auction. All of the proceeds go to Art For Life.

My photo, Speak the Truth, ended up going for $610! I'm very pleased that my small effort (very small - 6 X 6!) was able to raise that much for such a good cause.

It was an honor to have my work chosen, and a terrifically enjoyable day spent in the new arts district among other artists and art fans. I enjoyed a chat with Duff Lindsay of Lindsay Gallery as well as a couple who bid on my photo (McKinley & Josh). It was such a pleasure speaking with them, as well as the very kind Melinda Rosenberg, a sculptor of one of the live auction items.

I also enjoyed my first trip through a number of the galleries - Sarah Gormley Gallery, No Place Gallery (where my work was displayed), and Lindsay Gallery -as well as the new incarnations of some old favorites: Hammond Harkins, Brandt Gallery.

An absolutely wonderful day!
