Art for charity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Art for charity refers to the convergence between art and charitable giving. Artists may produce works specifically to be sold for charity or creators or owners of artistic works might donate all or part of the proceeds of sale to a good cause. Such sales are often conducted by auction. Alternatively, works may be exhibited (and possibly be available for sale) with ticket sales being donated.[1] [2] Such exhibitions sometimes incorporate art related to or by those who benefit from the charitable donations.[3] Organisations such as The Liane & Danny Taran Foundation offer incentives such as signed photographs from successful international photographers to those who donate certain amounts to charity.[4]
