Why Own Contemporary Art?

(part of a conversation between Tom Schreiber and Culinary Entrepreneur and Art Collector, Lisa Mamounas of Culinary Insiders)

Tom: hi lisa - im answering a question for a blog post - the question is why own contemporary art? what do you think?
Lisa: The first question is Why Not? : )
Tom: haha
Tom: i like that
Lisa: Seriously, its something that is a passion. Just like food or music that you seek out and truly enjoy and enriches your life. Its a story
Lisa: as well, if you may, a decorative object to cover blank walls
Tom: that's a good answer
Tom: can i quote you on that?
Lisa: Of course, anything for you : )
Tom: : )
Tom: thanks!

Will your face will create a better eARTh?

NY Artist Tom Schreiber's drawings on Post-it® Recycled Paper Notes send 70% of proceeds to NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) for a healthier Earth.

Here's how you can be a part of it:

Tom Schreiber making a portrait
1. Tom Schreiber will make a new drawing of you on a Post-it® Recycled Paper Note.

2. Have a conversation with Tom to title the drawing and set the opening bid for the auction on eBay. The reserve price is set by a random person and will vary per drawing.

3. When your drawing goes live for auction on eBay it will be featured on its own page on Art4Change.com. Place your bid and share the news with your family, friends and colleagues and invite them to bid on the drawing. Posting a link on your myspace or facebook is a great way to get the word out.

Have fun watching the auction unfold and raising awareness of how you're helping the NRDC do its work. After the sale 70% of the money will go to NRDC.

Buy it Now option: Some prefer the option to complete the transaction in one sitting by buying a drawing at a fixed price. Purchase your drawing for $50 by clicking the Buy it Now option during the auction.
