ARTvision-4’s sales are
closed!
For the first time, we have eclipsed the $7,000 mark in total earnings in one year. For a complete breakdown of pieces sold and their new owners, go to our Honor Roll page.
All buyers receive free swag in addition to discounts on future purchases. Help me congratulate both our donor-buyers, as well as our artists, for making this our best year ever.
In four years, ARTvision has raised just under $15,000 in unfettered, 100% donations. This cash infusion could not be possible without the generosity of our artists. To all of our artists - those who sold pieces and those who did not - you are the lifeblood of this event. Thank you!

Also, ARTvision’s Fifth Anniversary event will be coming soon, so please make your submissions! We will be limiting space to 20 artists next year, so get your slot today.
All the best and thanks to all.

Boffo Numbers, Record Participation... The Perfect Start to 2010
Jan 02 2010 10:40 AM
Just a quick post to let all of
you know we are crunching numbers of both
ARTvision pieces sold and cash donations
made...
Look for an official recap, total numbers and photos released on Monday morning.
Meantime, keep in mind we are looking at a figure somewhere north of $7,000 in total funds raised.
This is a collective effort and an example of people banding together to make a difference, through Positive Impact, in the lives of people living with HIV in Metro Atlanta.
Please also watch for news about an extended two-week online sale for some of the pieces still available - with reduced prices!
More to follow shortly.
Rob O'Connor Brings The Uber-famous "Lagadema" to ARTvision & Positive Impact
Dec 30 2009 06:03 AM
Like with the queen of England,
sometimes we must simply bow down to royalty.
The same holds true for Rob O’Connor’s ARTvision entry this year, “Lagadema Surveys her Territory.” Lagadema is the actual name of the furry creature featured in National Geographic’s “Eye of the Leopard.” Here’s the official trailer:
As well as a longer, lower-quality clip that shows Lagadema’s sudden compassion for a newborn:
Rob’s piece is a photo-to-canvas, adding unbelievable texture to an image that captures Lagadema at rest. When you make the corresponding donation to Positive Impact of $225, thanks to Rob’s generosity, you’ll receive a *free* DVD of the National Geographic documentary bearing Lagadema’s likeness.
Buy it today and lock in that last-minute donation! Our event is tonight and you can pick it up at Will’s house between 6-8 p.m.
Visit Rob on the Web: here, and on his popular, “Daily Slap” blog, BentBlog.com.
A Song for Sales: With Your Support We Can Soar in the 2009 Stretch Run
Dec 26 2009 07:52 PM
Great things can happen in five
days.
At least that’s what we’re hoping... And here’s a little detail you’ll probably want to know: In 2009, ARTvision artists have piled up their wares to the tune of a whopping $13,000 in potential donations.
So, if every last piece were acquired in this final week of buying, Positive Impact, our beneficiary, would be able to use that cash to immediately advance its HIV testing and exceptional counseling programs.
As a final incentive for buying, I’ve created a full montage of images from this year’s event - set to “Light of Love,” a song I wrote and co-produced with Matthew Smith. Check it out:
All ARTvision 2009 buyers - in addition to receiving existing swag from our sponsors - will now receive a download coupon code for iTunes so you can enjoy “Light of Love” on your iPod or tune-player of choice.
Get to buying now and let’s break some fund-raising records! And we’ll see you on the 30th for our pre-party buying opportunity, as well as the New Year’s Eve bash. - WP

Dec 17 2009 09:57 AM
Two ARTvision pieces garnered
great comments today.

ARTvision 2009 in the News
Nov 11 2009 08:07 AM
Now that
“Parties with (Positive!) Impact” is in the books,
ARTvision had a couple of mentions in the local
press.
First, Project Q Atlanta did a preview story for the event that promoted some of our artists - and talked about ARTvision’s beneficiary, Positive Impact, and how crucial its services are.
“While other AIDS agencies focus on the much-needed physical health issues people infected with HIV face, Positive Impact directs its attention to mental health issues that arise, not just for infected people, but also people affected by the disease in other ways, like caregivers.”
The second, follow story was a wrap-up, asking the burning question: “Who’s got a sweet tooth for Positive Impact?”
