Shave An Artist

Shave An Artist

Tuesday 3rd February 2009, Artists from all over Aotearoa will shave their heads to raise money and help support the 6 New Zealand children and adults who are diagnosed with blood cancers like leukaemia and lymphoma every day. The Leukaemia & Blood Foundation provides essential support for those patients and their families - support that can last months, even years.

Top New Zealand Artists have donated 13 artworks, which will be auctioned off at this one-of-a-kind charity event. The audience will watch while 13 artists and friends have their heads shaved alongside their artworks being auctioned.
North Shore City Mayor Andrew Williams will open this shave/auction evening. The event will also launch a month long exhibition at the Bruce Mason Centre consisting of artworks depicting "LIFE" in all its facets by 41 talented artists from around Aotearoa.

100% of the proceeds from the art auction and head shaves will be donated to the Leukaemia and Blood Foundation. 20% of all artwork sales from the month long exhibition will be donated also.
