Warholian has put together a fundraiser taking place this Monday the 21st from 5-7pm at Project One Gallery.

PRESS RELEASE:

“Sketch for Japan: An Artist Fundraiser” will be held Monday, March 21 at Project One Gallery & Lounge and organized by Warholian.com in partnership with Rise with Japan. All proceeds will be directly donated to Give2Asia: JSNC Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund, a fund that is directly distributed to the people in the northern region of Japan.

We are asking participating artists to sketch inspired artwork, or donate any works that they may have laying around their studios for the fundraiser. All works will be priced at $50 or under. We will have the pieces displayed on a board (much like Sketch Tuesdays at 111 Minna) where visiting patrons can purchase the works immediately.

A large part of the Japanese community within San Francisco has had family personally affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami – this is our way of helping those currently in need.

Sketch for Japan will be held Monday, March 21st from 5pm-11pm at:
Project One Gallery and Lounge
251 Rhode Island
San Francisco, CA 94103
