Art on the Block coming soon at the Art Gallery of Alberta

I love the taglines for this year’s Art on the Block fundraiser for the Art Gallery of Alberta:

AOTB-2015-Hero-Image-950x2501

AND

“Show no mercy in the name of art.”

 

The idea is to bid a lot and often and compete with other art lovers for prized artwork. All the proceeds go towards funding the educational programs and exhibitions at the gallery.

 

Art is part of who I am, the AR&S Gallery at the AGA represent my work and I am happy to support them right back! That’s why I donated one of my paintings for the event. Check it out:
