Art benefits

Art benefits are a great way to do good, add to your collection, and discover new artists. We have met a lot of artists by first buying a work of theirs at a benefit. Good things happening over the next few weeks:

We've found a lot of great work at their benefits. Unfortunately their site is down at the moment. Joy Garnett has some more details.
