I’m thrilled to be supporting The International Autoimmune Arthritis Movement Artists Collaborative Exchange (IAAC ACE). My gallery donation is a 16×24 portrait canvas titled “Pearls of Strength & Hope”.
I was immediately drawn to IAAC’s cause as I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis which is a debilitating disease affecting not only the joints, but it can also affect the skin, eyes, lungs, heart, blood, or nerves. Artists from around the world are donating their beautiful creations to the IAAM ACE gallery which will then offer the pieces up for sale on May 19th. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the International Autoimmune Arthritis Movement (IAAM), an award-winning 501c3 non-profit, created to raise awareness and provide wellness education to those affected by Autoimmune Arthritis diseases. IAAM is the only non-profit that exclusively advocates for only this strand of diseases.
Are you a painter, sculptor, photographer, quilter, or other fine artist? Do you have or know someone with autoimmune arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrom, psoriatic arthritis, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, and many more)? Join the movement and make a donation of a work of art you’ve created!
Unable to donate a work of art? No problem. You can help the cause by purchasing art from the gallery. The show will be available online LIVE on May 19th, 2013 June 1st at 6am ET/USA and will stay open until the official end of WAAD13. All items will be available to take home in exchange for a donation to the ACE’s program.
ALL ART ITEMS MUST BE SHIPPED AND RECEIVED NO LATER THAN MAY 10TH, 2013. I hope you’ll join me.
