Art of Giving - Bruce House Every year. For the month of December. The gallery has the Art of Giving. The gallery takes 0. Yes Zero commission of sales on sales. 100 % of all sales go directly to the artists. At the end of the month each artist is asked to donate an artwork. Some artists are very generous and give large and multiple works. Saddly some artists fail to contribute. The Art of Giving is something I believe strongly in. December is the retail month of the year. And for the entire month of December the gallery donates everything. It is not easy to do this. But the dream is to help artists, celebrate community, and give art to wonderful people. with love Patrick John Mills This year (4th year) the Charity to recieve 30 or so art works was Bruce House. Founded in 1988, Bruce House is a community-based organization providing housing, compassionate care and support in Ottawa for people living with HIV and AIDS, based on the belief that everyone has the right to live and die with dignity. We achieve our mandate in part through our House Program for people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) who require high levels of care and support and through our Independent Living Program, which provides rent-geared-to-income housing units and apartments for PHAs, along with support such as counselling, coaching and family support, as required. We encourage you to browse through this site to discover more about our programs and services and to find out ways that you can get involved. Thank you for visiting. |
