1 Day - 100 Artists - 100 Patrons = $10,000
Wednesday, February 4, 2015
Opens 10 a.m. Central
"The 100" fundraiser is to be held on Wednesday, February 4, 2015. The goal for this fiber fundraiser for the American Cancer Society is to raise $10,000 in one day. Fiberart For A Cause has already raised $240,000 through the generosity of fiber artists and patrons.
Virginia A. Spiegel explains how it works:
1. On February 4, the first 100 people to contact me beginning at 10 a.m. Central will be given a link to donate $100 directly to the American Cancer Society through Fiberart For A Cause. Please note I am not responsible for the vagaries of the e-mail system.
2. Each donor will receive an artwork from one of the 100 generous and talented artists listed below. Assignments of artwork will be made using a random number generator. Artwork will not be shared here in advance, but may appear on artists' websites or other social media before the event.
3. The artwork may be any size as long as the minimum retail value is $100. Artwork smaller than 8x10" will be mounted to 8x10." The artwork will contain fiber. The artwork may or may not be made specifically for this event.
3. Each artist will receive her/his patron's e-mail address to arrange shipping. Artwork will be shipped directly from the artist. Please note this is an international roster of artists. Please do thank the artist for not only donating the artwork, but also shipping it to you.
4. Each artist would love to receive a low res photo of the artwork in situ from the new owner. This is not required, but the best photos may be shared here after the event.

Special Note: Our goal of $10,000 will make Fiberart For A Cause's donations to the American Cancer Society a nice even one-quarter of a million dollars.
