Do you like music? Do you like art? How about a little somethin’ somethin’ that combines the two and all for a good cause!? WELL HERE IT IS!!!!!!!
Hollie Smith, Julia Deans and Riki Gooch have more than just Kiwi music in common. Along with thirteen other local musicians they’re all switching mediums to become a different kind of artist – and it’s for a great cause!
Art For Artists Sake has been created to help raise money for Youthline and also to bring more awareness to the role they play in our community as NZ’s largest youth development and support service. And we at Master Mouse Patrol are PROUD to support this event!!!!!
Each of the 16 musicians will create a piece of artwork the public will be able to view and even have the chance to own. According to Isaac Aesili moving from vocals to visual will be an interesting challenge, “Creating is in our blood, but Art For Artists Sake will be about expressing ourselves in a completely new and unfamiliar way”.
“It’s a great showcase of NZ musical talent and we hope to spread the word about Youthline’s work, and raise some much needed funds so they can keep supporting and developing our young people’ remarked organiser Ren Kirk.
Once complete, the artworks will be displayed online at www.artforartistssake.com and at Sale Street in Auckland City. Then on Sunday 17 October the first Art For Artists Sake charity Art Auction will take place, where the pieces will be auctioned off on Sunday 17th October.
The 16 NZ musicians providing their talent for Art For Artists Sake are: Anna Coddington, Adi Dick, Hollie Smith, Isaac Aesili, Iva Lamkum, Jade Pritchard, Julia Deans, Lewis McCallum, Lisa Crawley, Lisa Tomlins, Mara TK, Rhian Sheehan, Riki Gooch, Ruth Carr, Sacha Vee & Tim Guy.
As well as Master Mouse Patrol there are some other great sponsors who are helping to make Art For Artists Sake possible; Benefitz, Mooch Mag, Phantom Billstickers, Radio Ponsonby, Real Groove, Sale Street, The Groove Guide and Unlimited Realties.
