Fiber Art For a Cause / Collage Mania
A couple of years ago, I was able to participate in the phenomenally successful FiberArt for a Cause fund-raiser conceived, organized and run by Virginia Spiegel in which all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. I donated this quilt, and thank Gold Donor Katherine McNeese for her generosity to the ACS in her donation for the quilt above, A Sense of Place: The Tree.
The preview for the final installment, Collage Mania, in which all 384 fiber collages donated by 161 generous artists are now available for your viewing HERE.
Collage Mania, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, opens May 5 with a minimum donation of $80 for each artwork and continues May 6 and 7 when the donation minimum drops to $40.
Please read over the directions on how to participate in Collage Mania. NOW is the time to send me a note if you need special accommodations in any way. Once Collage Mania starts it will be wild and crazy as all artwork is available on a first-come/first-serve basis.
All donations for artwork are made directly to the ACS through Fiberart For A Cause. Patrons receive an immediate electronic receipt from the ACS. Our goal for this final Fiberart For A Cause fundraiser is at least $20,000. We have already donated over $170,000.
Enjoy the artwork!
Congratulations to Virginia, the small but effective bevy of folks who have joined to help her with artwork for items on Cafe Press, collating and uploading jpegs and preparing the THIRTY NINE pages of collages for this round (among other things), and to all the artists who have participated in the Postcard fundraiser (donations made at the FFAC booth at Quilt Festivals in Houston and Chicago), the several years of Collage Mania, and the several years of the Reverse Auction, and to the generosity of so many who have made this possible.
