Dear friends and colleagues,

I’m awed by the resiliency of the human spirit, our ability to heal, grow, and re-create ourselves. This intention to live from the belief that “all things are possible in life” has freed me to follow my natural artistic impulses.  I hope to share this belief through my work, and with each person who interacts with it. -Marcelo Holzinger


MARCELO HOLZINGER, Quadro del Sol
Mixed media artist,  MARCELO HOLZINGER, joined by a diverse array of colleagues from around the U.S. and coordinated by The Eclectic Arts Movement (T.E.A.M.) and seepr services, is participating in an auction called No Boundaries Prosthetic Foundation to benefit Haitian children who lost limbs during Haiti's devastating earthquake last year. The sale of Marcelo's and other donated artworks will help with the purchase of prosthetics.

This Sunday's show will feature a live conversation with the team of participants to learn what's involved in creating an event like this and getting it to efficiently serve its purpose. Altruism is certainly an essential ingredient, but what else does it take to go from A to Z?

Maybe you have a worthy cause you would like to assist through an arts event. Is an auction the best way?  What's involved? How do you go about recruiting participants, and what are the next steps? And then, when the exhibition venue is cleaned up and the money counted, how do you evaluate your success? These are among the issues we'll explore with Marcelo, T.E.A.M. administrator, NELSON DELGADO and CHERYL MOODY, one of see pr services partners.

Have questions about organizing an auction for a cause you care about?  Call 646.721.9843

"So, Haitians inside of Haiti, we want them to see these pictures, but... the international community, we want them to see these picstures too, because they really show a different reality, a different sense of what Haiti is like - very different from what we see in the news media."
