This photo of artists Suzanne Hill, Andrew Keirstead and Lynn Wigginton ran a week ago Saturday in the Business Section of the Globe and Mail, in Paul Waldie's weekly column on charitable giving. The focus was the Professional Visual Artists Fund, established with the Greater Saint John Community Foundation with profits from artist supported fundraising events.
I've had the fun of being involved in organizing two of these, Art & Artifacts (24 artists create works inspired by items in the Museum's collection) and Whodunit? (50 artists, 50 works of the same size, all available for the same price - buy and find out who created it.) Plans are underway for Whodunit Reloaded, coming this fall.
Considerable enjoyment has been derived from the fact that this story ran in the Business section. I was at a museums conference at the time and was able to share it with colleagues from across the country.
