A favorite local event has come around again, the Holiday Art Show at my local comic shop, Carol & John’s. I’ve been contributing to the show for a few years, and my kids have contributed their art as well! Each piece of art is raffled off and proceeds go to The Greater Cleveland Food Bank.
My son and I contributed covers on their “Superheroes in Cleveland” theme. It’s wonderful to give him an opportunity to generate funds for charity with something he creates himself and this year, his cover project turned into time together as a major Procreate tutorial. I made two covers, one Mister Miracle to appeal to the comic book die-hards, and another is a ploy to get those elementary & middle school families buying raffle tickets. Six-sevennnnnnn.
Each cover is raffled off individually, you can stop by the shop to see the art or you can call in and bid in any cover – you just need the corresponding number and a credit card. (My son’s X-Men cover is #5, mine are #6 and, appropriately, #67.)
It really is a wonderful event with pros, amateurs, art students and kids all contributing, and proceeds have raised thousands for the Cleveland Food Bank.
Info on how to call in and buy raffle tix is in the screenshot below:
I wrote about the show and their efforts last year.
The 2024 Art Show created 26,151 meals for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank (the previous record was 18,888 meals).
