Fellow Artists: Masons, Architects, Plein Air Painters, Muralists, Interior Designers, Faux Finishers, and Woodworkers

This May 23rd, The Rady Children's Hospital Auxiliary will host and event entitled Open the Door to Your Heart. This will be an art auction held at the Wyndham Hotel at a formal evening event.

 All forms of creative people will be asked to paint or create a door to be auctioned off at the event on the 23rd. How you choose to define "door" is limited only in your own imagination. Those of you who just want to paint will be provided a standard hollow core door. Those of you wishing to create your own door may use whatever medium available to you. Doors can be fully usable or stand alone as sculptural work of art.

  This will be considered an in-kind donation to the joint collaboration of Rady Children's and UCSD's pediatric heart unit and the cardiovascular research of Dr. Paul Grossfeld. Dr. Grossfeld is a Pediatric Heart Doctor whose team's groundbreaking work in the field of diagnosing the genetic cause of pediatric heart disease is in jeopardy of being shut down due to lack of funding. 

Lori Sorbo, Auxiliary Chair will shortly be creating formalized documents; but I wanted to extend an early invitation and Save the Date of sorts to get you thinking beyond the original idea of a door. 

Beyond what we can all do as artisans, we can also think of marketing tie-ins for our door. For instance, those of us with media ties might consider painting a Padre Player and getting them to sign and pose with the door. Interior Designers could provide children's room items or coordinating room furnishings. If you create a Spanish garden door, perhaps a dinner at a local Mexican restaurant or a nursery gift certificate? Or perhaps your talent is just so darn amazing it needs to stand on its own!  The choice is yours!

For more information, please contact me at (858)366-3720 or Event Chair Lori Sorbo at lori-sorbo@yahoo.com

Thank you so much for considering this worthwhile cause and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE forward to all artists and artisans: architects, quilters ,painters, stained glass artists ,metallurgists, wood workers, Interior designers, sculptors, etc.! Use your guild emails and list serves please!
