Art Fights Fire
Pink Birds by Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching.
Now here's a brilliant idea: raise funds for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal by purchasing a ticket to the Art Fights Fire exhibition fundraiser in Melbourne.
Gemma Jones, curator at Outre Gallery and ringleader of the Kaotic Kraft Kuties, has rounded up a hard-hitting bunch of generous and international and local artists to donate artworks for the fundraiser.
The artists involved - including Shag, Kozyndan and Gina Garan of This is Blythe - all have a strong collectable history within the lowbrow art scene and the craft community.

Gemma says, "It's been an instant call to arms across the seas. Big deal artists from all over have - without question - donated art as part of the cause. This is an awesome chance to help the grim situation in fire-stricken parts of the state - and add to your art collection."
All monies go towards the Red Cross Appeal.
Raffle tickets for "Art Fights Fire Fundraiser" will be on sale from MONDAY 16 FEBRUARY.
