We’ve been working all summer on this and are very pleased to announce that we have a super-fantastic fundraiser art auction coming up in less than a week! Heliotrope has partnered with Paddle8.com to host an online-only art auction to benefit our restoration projects and educational programs in Cormiers, Haiti. Bidding opens at 12pmEST on Thursday September 6 and runs for 2 weeks, closing at 5pmEST on Wednesday September 19, 2018. Link to the auction preview: Paddle8.com/auction/Heliotrope-Foundation/. Our esteemed curatorial committee includes: SWIZZ BEATZ [No Commission], JANE GOLDEN [Mural Arts, Philadelphia], AMANDA KRAMPF [Chandran Gallery, SF]], MASHONDA TIFRERE [Art Lead Her], & ZAHRA SHERZAD [Heliotrope Foundation].  Our committee has brought together a group of passionate, cutting edge artists across the spectrum of street art, muralists, painters, photographers and mixed-media. Bid on this offering of stellar artworks up for auction, the proceeds benefiting the second phase of our Community Center restorations, which take place this November and will additionally help pay the local teacher salaries of our after-school kids program in Cormiers, Klub Obzevatwa.
