A Pretty Picture of Giving

The art scene and charitable giving often cross paths at benefit galas, major donations, and auctions. All too rarely, however, is original artwork approachable for everyday folks on a budget while still making a philanthropic statement. This is what makes Collect.Give such a phenomenal site. Photographers from around the country sell copies of their original prints at extremely affordable prices and dedicate 100% of the profit to a charity of their choice. They've raised over $19,000 since last year, which means a lot of good is being done while great contemporary photography is being enjoyed and discussed around the country. Here are a few of my faves from the current lists. What are you waiting for? Go shop guilt-free! - l.o.d.
