Another
innovative project from Synergy Art Foundation,
who distributed blank 10” x 10” canvases
throughout the county, challenging local artists
to create small format works using the theme
“Beauty”.
The
project, aptly entitled FROM BLANKS TO BEAUTY,
resulted in gathering over 140 original and
highly diverse works in varying media, from
seasoned and emerging artists. All artworks
were showcased at the Mosaic Wine Bar in a silent
auction format on Thursday, November 17, from
6-10p.m.. Participating artists split the proceeds
50/50 and others donated all to Synergy’s
EASL program, (Emergency Artists’ Support
League) which offers limited emergency financial
assistance to local visual arts professionals
in desperate need because of a medical crisis,
accident, fire or loss of personal and professional
property. Those looking for a wonderful gift
for someone special found a fantastic selection
at the event. Opening bid for each piece started
at $50. The Mosaic Wine Bar is located at 3422
30th. St.t, San Diego, 92014. A percentage of
the bar’s proceeds that evening was donated
to Synergy Art Foundation.
