| Welcome to the “Eyes on a Cure” Project: Trigger Happy Tattoo Tattoo Gallery And FC Cancer Foundation Invite you to participate in this unique and important event… Our goal is to have 500 or more canvases to proudly display for auction at selected venues that all participants are invited to attend. We ask that you participate by making an eye… Any way that your creative mind can fit on a miniature 2” by 1.5”inch canvas or watercolor board! We provide all canvas and watercolor boards free of charge, delivered to your shop. Please feel free to be original and think FAR outside the box. Upon completion of this awesome project, a book will be published to commemorate our efforts. The proceeds from the Eyes on a Cure project will aid in the fight for a cure. |
| Project Description The object of this project is to use our artistic skills to create an Eye. You may use any Medium you like: Oils, Acrylic, Watercolor, Colored Pencil, Charcoal, Pen and Ink, Relief, Etc. We ask only that you be creative. We will supply all of the hand stretched canvases and watercolor boards free of charge. We have chosen a pre-primed vinyl canvas and “Arches Cold Press” to ensure a quality work surface. Feel free to add any artwork to the sides of your piece if you like – Remember, the only boundary is the initial size of your canvas. On occasion, we have received Eyes that have been created using alternative mediums such as Prismacolor, charcoal and pencil. If this applies to your Eye, please note that we are happy to accept these submissions, but do ask that they meet the size requirements given. We will crop, mount and display your piece appropriately upon receipt. There is no limit to the number of eyes that you may submit. Be creative and have fun! GOAL Our goal is to collect up too 500 canvases to be auctioned off at selected venues to raise money and awareness for City of Hope in Los Angeles, California. All eyes will begin with a starting bid of no less than $20.00 and will increase as buyers bid on them. Our main objective is to raise as much money as possible from auction sales to donate to City of Hope. Upon completion of this important project, we will publish a book to commemorate our efforts. All participating shops and artists will be able to purchase books by the case at wholesale—The proceeds from these purchases will be cycled back into the project to generate the printing of more books, posters, etc. The books that you (artists/participants) purchase are yours to resale, give away, hoard, and so on… It is our hope that these publications will not only commemorate our collaborative work on this project, but recognize and appreciate each of your individual contributions. |
| All proceeds generated from Auction sales will be donated to City of Hope in an effort aid in treatment and hopes for a cure. |
| We would like to thank City of Hope for accepting our contribution and are honored to be a part of such an important cause. |
