HOPE International Art Auction


Calling all artists! HOPE International is in need of your paintings and other 2D or 3D media representing the theme “Finding Dignity and Beauty in the Midst of Poverty.”

HOPE invites amateur and professional artists alike to submit their high-quality, original art pieces for consideration for a benefit art auction that will raise money to provide microloans for hardworking entrepreneurs around the world who have been trapped in poverty. Pieces should be internationally-themed and representative of either HOPE’s clients or the countries where they reside.

Interested artists should first submit a completed participation form to HOPE International no later than April 15. Participation forms are available for download at www.hopeinternational.org. All original artwork should be prepared for presentation and sale and cannot be returned to the artists. Artists will receive exposure on HOPE’s website and in promotional materials for The Art of Giving. Works will be auctioned online and at a one-day art exhibition to be held June 5 in Lancaster, PA. Submissions will be accepted through May 1. Participation forms and artwork can be submitted to HOPE International, 227 Granite Run Drive, Suite 250, Lancaster, PA 17601.
