Support Wildfire Victims through Art

June 27, 2012

All leadership is influence.” ~ John C. Maxwell 

Since 1996, the Rist Canyon Fire Department has held their main fundraiser every September. The Richard Schmid Auction in Larimer County,Colorado draws hundreds of people each year who appreciate and collect art.

The terrible draught, said to be the worst in 100 years has taken a terrible toll in Colorado. The Rist Canyon Fire Department has been fighting to contain wildfires that have already taken many homes in their area. Their financial resources as well as their manpower have been strained due to the wildfires.

World-renown artist Richard Schmid, an artist who is already so well known for his generosity for mentoring students, has stepped up to the plate. He has offered 100% donation of the proceeds of the sale of his art at the annual fundraiser to support the Rist Canyon Fire Department on September 2nd. Other artists are following this example.

Good attendance at the annual art auction will be so important this year. Put it on your calendar. It is an outstanding event every year that also includes an antique car rally, live entertainment and more. Landscapes, still life and portraiture paintings can be purchased on-line if you are not able to travel to it. http://bit.ly/nppKFs.
