Dear ,

Next week, I invite you to stop by Trygve Lie Gallery for the Twitter Art Exhibit: NYC, to take in and possible purchase the works of over 1000 international artists, including my own 4" x 6" original watercolor postcard, At Rest, seen above. This is a really awesome show that was created in 2010 by Swedish Americanized artist, David Sandum. Each year the exhibit is held in different cities and supports a local charity. The only prerequisite to submit work to the show was to have a Twitter presence. 

Proceeds Benefit Teen Foster Girls
Foster Pride of NYC helps support kids in foster care through mentoring and the arts. Proceeds from Twitter Art Exhibit: NYC will go towards their program, Handmade, which provides teen girls in foster care the opportunity to learn about design, marketing, and small business skills, and develop personal and interpersonal qualities such as motivation, collaboration, and sustained effort that will be valuable to these young women as they age out of the foster care system.
