Tonight 826NYC is back with another benefit, this one is their Art Show, with all money raised from the auction going to the charity. You know about 826NYC, right? The nonprofit is dedicated to supporting kids from 6–18 with their creative writing skills, while helping teachers inspire their students to write. Just think of all the future bloggers in that place.
Check out the pieces on auction, here, where you can also check out the honest commentary on the art from the students of 826.
The auctioneer tonight is none other than They Might Be Giants John Flansburgh. We couldn't think of a better person for the job.
