Aim
of the Auction:
- With this particular initiative of an
online auction, aims to use art to raise funds for struggling people/families
during this difficult timhttps://www.instagram.com/TheRealNinjaX/e.
- Artists are aware of the realities of the
majority of the people in this country. In a normal situation in South Africa,
a majority of people, especially black people struggle to eat. The effect that
the lockdown has had and will continue to have on the majority of people is
what inspired this concept. The artists aim to do what they can to assist where
possible.
- Artists have had great responses on
social media. The media is also responding well. The aim is to raise as much
awareness as possible via the media to get a number of participants for the
online auction this weekend.
- The Artists have identified a number of
organisations and individuals who will receive proceeds but suggestions are
welcome.
NB: The artworks to be found on the artists’
contact details are only examples of their portfolio. Official auction pieces
will be posted on their social media platforms on Friday.
