Corporate & Museum Frame is sponsoring a fund raising event and gallery exhibition, January 30-February 29, benefiting the Lindsay Aronson Ess rehabilitation fund “Love Of Lindsay (loveoflindsay.com). ” Artists, both VCU students and faculty, are asked to make a generous donation of work in support of the recovering VCU alum.

Pieces must be 4 x 6, 8.5 x 11, or 11 x 14 in dimension.  Artists may submit up to 3 pieces.  Each piece must be signed on the back ONLY.  Work by artists both well known and unknown will hang unmarked, side by side. All 4×6 pieces will be sold for $25 each; 8.5×11 for $35 and 11 x 14 for $50. All buyers will get a wonderful work of art at a remarkable price; some will walk away having made an exceptionally valuable purchase. But every sale will be worth far more than simply the value of the art itself, as 100% of proceeds will go to help Lindsay and her family.

All work should be sent or dropped off by January 18, 2008 to Corporate & Museum Frame, 301 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23220. Please let us know in advance of your intention to participate by calling Anahita Khonsari at (804) 643-6858 or by sending an email to anahita@corporatemuseumframe.com.
Please plan to attend the Preview on Thursday, January 31 or the Opening on Friday, February 1 and be ready to buy some great art for a great cause! (Only cash or checks made to Love of Lindsay will be accepted.)

Please download the entry form and Corporate & Museum Frame’s letter of intent.
