ARTvision-4: The Final Numbers
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!
At any time throughout the year, visit Positive Impact and keep tabs on all of their programs.
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 Filed in: News | General

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.
A Song for Sales: With Your Support We Can Soar in the 2009 Stretch Run
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

By way
of Greg
Davis, here’s an example
of an artist (the very talented
Mark
Salling) going behind the
scenes to pay tribute to his cast. His
“Glee Family” as he calls it.
Very cool.

On World AIDS Day 2009, ARTvision 4 Launches With 25+ Artists
Dec 01 2009 08:02 AM Filed in: General
Posts
(1 December 2009
:: ATLANTA) - World AIDS Day once again marks
a moment when awareness is raised and we get
incrementally closer to conquering the
disease. On the way to that urgent calling, we
can make a great deal of difference in the
lives of those living with HIV.
If participation is any indicator, ARTvision’s record 25+ artists represent resounding and enthusiastic support of that mission. Now in our fourth year of joining emerging and established artists together with donors in an online environment, ARTvision is one small way we can help our beneficiary, Positive Impact, provide culturally competent mental-health and prevention services to individuals affected by HIV. (read more)
More than ever, Positive Impact needs additional funding... and as we embark on ARTvision's month-long fundraising drive, please keep in mind that we’ve designed this event to appeal to all, with prices ranging from $15 to $2,000 you’ll have lots of opportunities to support PI’s mission. (browse now)
ARTvision is the perfect chance to lock in a last-minute tax deduction, support a great organization like PI and receive some snazzy artwork in the process. Cash donations through ARTvision are very much encouraged, too, so please keep that in mind if you’re not seeking any artwork.
We’ll be loading the rest of the artists this week, so watch the home page for frequent updates. Meantime, let’s make some money! - WP
ARTvision 2009 Music Wish List

(ATLANTA ::
30 September 2009) - I can dream, can’t I?
I have a short list of musicians I’d like to add to ARTvision this year - in addition to the return of The Wayne Fishell Experiment and the addition of Stella Parton (more on those artists soon!).
In no particular order:
• Marie Digby. Terrific talent, great guitar player (see her cover of Owl City’s Fireflies)... and one busy gal. But most of all, an impressive songwriter. She kills on a cover of “Umbrella.” But here she is with “Say it Again.”
• Corbin Bleu. Actually, I’ve got the wheels turning on this one. Daryl Getman co-starred with Corbin in a tribute concert a few months ago. She shot him an e-mail and we’re waiting to hear back. In the meantime, treat yourself to “Moments that Matter” from his CD, “Speed of Light.”
• Jennifer Paige & Nick Carter. This song is a toe-tapper in the highest order. Plus, Jen was an ARTvision Artist last year when she offered up “The Jennifer Paige Fan Experience,” which sold at the silent auction. So I’m after “Beautiful Lie,” which we
If you do, in fact, read this - we need and want your donations! I’m thinking a signed CD, CD single, downloadable track or anything that can connect our buyers with these awesome artists and tunes. I’m open to ideas! Sold yet? Hit me up! (If you’re one of these artists reading this post, please e-mail me for more info.)
I’m going to attach this post to all related fan pages and see what happens. Keep your fingers crossed, and if you have any suggestions for new music, please let me know. - WP
