Art for Haiti
The Cube Gallery is holding an art auction to raise money for Haitian earthquake survivors next Tuesday (Feb. 9). Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar is collecting donations from local artists for the auction. I'll be donating a print of one of my favourite photos. If you'd like to donate a piece get in touch with Paul Dewar's office (613.219.7250, Dewarp1@parl.gc.ca). All donations must be confirmed by February 5th and only one work per person will be accepted.
Here's all the info for the event. Be there or be square.
