Raising money for charity

Posted on 02. Sep, 2009 by Tony Arranaga in Featured, News

Phoenix abstract expressionist artist Kyle Jordre is hard at work on my our project to raise money for autism research.  You may recall I told you about the auction last month here.  The guys over at After Hours Gallery are teaming up with the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center to raise money to assist families with autistic kids in Arizona.  I jumped at the opportunity to help when the gallery owner told me about the plan to have local artists design a skateboard deck since I use a skateboard as a mode of transportation.  However I realized there was a tiny problem when I realized I just signed up to take part in an auction that involved creating art.  I can barely draw stick figures.  However my friend Kyle is an accomplished artist in Downtown Phoenix.  Problem solved.  My our board is due in a week.

The auction is still a couple months away.  If you would like to learn about the artist, you can check out Kyle here and his Facebook fan page here, and then head over to the online home of After Hours Gallery here.
