Tyson Crosbie donates piece to Young Collectors

Young Collectors is a volunteer organization that helps support the Phoenix Art Museum. They are in their own words 'Dedicated to enriching the social and cultural environment of Phoenix by providing social networking opportunities that help build a flourishing art community.' They will be holding their first fund raising gala tonight at the museum. The event entitled Murder at the Museum starts tonight at 6:30, flapper and zuit suit attire encouraged.

Tyson Crosbie dedicated one of his Phoenix 20 pieces to the silent auction that is part of the event. The piece that Tyson donated (seen here) is a 1 of 1 24"x36" FujiFlex print mounted to 1/8" Plexiglas. This thumbnail doesn't do it justice. It looks absolutely gorgeous! They normally retail for a little over $2800, so it is an incredible value. Cheers to Tyson, for helping support the museum and the local art community!

Tom Martinell at the Tilt Gallery

The Tilt Gallery is holding their third annual Exponential Love: The Gift of Life organ donation awareness exhibition and benefit auction April 3rd & 4th. Tom Martinell, an artist we have had the pleasure of working with, will have his piece entitled Father of the Bride available at the auction.

Tom's approach to photography is unique. In his own words: "All of the images have been produced in 2008 by digitally photographing 35mm slide projections under various conditions. Combining photographic elements has allowed me to produce images that I hope become more significant than the original picture."

Here is some information if you wish to attend the event.

Tilt Gallery in collaboration with Donor Network of Arizona will be hosting an exhibit and silent auction dedicated to Organ/Tissue Donor Awareness and Education.

Please come by to show your support and purchase some great art work for a very special cause. Proceeds from this event are donated to Donor Network of Arizona.
