Roger Williams School of Law is looking for artists to donate artwork for a benefit auction to support it's free legal services program. Artists set the minimum bid price & all proceeds gained from the auctioning of an artwork is split evenly between the School & artist. Art work donations are fully tax deductible and all the necessary paperwork to document your donation will be provided. Work maybe dropped off at AS220 on Saturday February 21, between 1-4 pm. The Auction will take place on February 27 at the Federal Reserve in Providence, and will include live music, food, raffles, a silent auction and a live auction. All artists are invited to attend.
Auction proceeds support law students engaging in important, but unpaid, summer legal internships serving the disenfranchised and less fortunate populations across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. With the 27 Summer Public Interest Stipends funded by the Auction last year, law students were able to:
represent people facing discrimination through the Rhode Island Commission on Human Rights.
advocate for environmental legislation in Rhode Island.
represent low-income Rhode Islanders losing homes through predatory lending and the foreclosure crisis
avocate for victims of domestic violence, and many other worthy endeavors.
