Anderson Donations bring funds to Human Solutions
Two donated photographs by Michael Anderson brought in a majority of the live auction proceeds at the Human Solutions benefit. The donated items were framed and matted in 20 x 24 frames (see below). Both images have appeared in GA2C shows this year.
"I will be helping Human Solutions and other charities in this way in the future as there are many organizations that need help right now." Anderson said. He also requested a desire to help other social services-based charity with donated art for their fund raising event.
Anderson called on other artists and photographers to support worthy casues with donated art.
"
It helps the cause and it also gives you and your work good exposure in the community." he said.
