The ICB Artist's Benefit for DrawBridge >>

During the month of March 2008, many of the ICB Artists of Sausalito will be creating a 12 inch square painting, which will become a part of a “mural” assembled from the smaller pieces.

Each artist is gathering sponsors to support their participation in this fundraising event. Donate now to sponsor your favorite ICB Artist by contributing to DrawBridge.
