SILENT AUCTION COVID-19 PROJECT
These past months have been very sad and I am so consumed by the suffering in our local community, in Italy my origin country and around the world. Observing the daily tragedies in the news, while at home with my family, has left me feeling helpless.
However, I decided to follow this idea that i would like to share with you, that I believe and hope it can help people affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
If you are interested to participate to this SILENT AUCTION, here’s how it works. If you see a piece of the artworks below that you are interested to make an offer, please send me an email with the title of the piece and your BID at arts@elidea.net. There is a starting bid of $200 for each artwork. Silent Auction will end on May 31st so on June 1st I will tell who is going to be the winner of the selected artwork. I will contact you to work out the payment and shipping details (accepted forms of payment: Credit Card, Zelle, Venmo or PayPal). Once the payment is received, I will make the donation to the charity of your choice, send to you a copy of the donation receipt and will ship the artwork.
From the sale proceeds, 75% will be donated to either a charity of the buyer’s choice (the remaining 25% will be applied to sales tax, packing and shipping). For this special project I reviewed the prices in order to let be them more affordable and try to help the much that we can who is in need to receive these donations).
