On October 3, 2008, Art Obama raised over $46,000 to help drive a Democratic win at the polls in November.  Over $44,000 will be allocated to the Obama Victory Fund; another $2,225 will go to Act Blue, a clearinghouse that distributes funds to House and Senate candidates who will be essential to giving Obama a working majority.   

The auction brought together the work of more than 100 contemporary artists, who passionately believe  that we must change course if our democracy is to survive.  Artists answered the call without hesitation and it is the quality of their work, above all else, that enabled us to reach our goal.

Kudos to the Art Obama auction committee:
