The Artworks Detroit 2017 Auction occurred on Friday, October 13th at the College for Creative Studies Taubman Center in the New Center neighborhood, a block from the historic Fisher Building. The event raised $90,000 for Matrix Human Services, a not-for-profit helping Detroit families and neighborhoods thrive. They also offer support services for those living with and who are most at risk for HIV/AIDS.
The Auction occurs annually and this was my second time donating to and experiencing the event. In 2015 I donated and sold a 36"x36" acrylic painting, "The Bride" and this year three 4"x6" leaf study ink sketches. Below are a few photos from my camera phone. I went with my friend and fellow artist, Jon Pickell, and my friend, Emily. Jon is solely responsible for introducing me to Art Auction and Matrix Human Services.
