Anchor's Aweigh Art Show
Mike currently has two works of art on display in the Anchor's Aweigh Art Show at The City of
Gresham Visual Arts Gallery. His Anchor on the Rhine image was selected as a featured piece for the show
which runs April 19 through June 2, 2011. Three of his pieces were just selected for the Juried Show at the same gallery and
those will be displayed next month. Two of Mike's pieces recently sold at auction to support the Dougy Center in Portland.

New Encaustic Art Studio
Lori and Mike took an Advanced Encaustic Art Class from Linda Womack in October 2010 and they plan to
put their new found knowledge to work in a new encaustic art studio that was recently created for that purpose. The
studio will also be made available to friends and associates for the creation of charity donation pieces.
Encaustic mixed-media pieces fetch higher prices than photographic fine art pieces and it is hoped that this
will benefit the charities that they support.

Tough economic times hurt everyone but they especially hurt charities and their ability
to raise funds. Corporate and private giving is down or has been postponed until the economy
improves. We created this site to help with donations of fine art to support charities. It
has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. We like to think that the right picture,
in the form of a donation to a charity, can be worth a thousand dollars.
This web site was created with charities, donations and fund raising in mind. All of the fine art
displayed on this web site is available for donation to qualifying charities by Michael Anderson and Lori Anderson.
Priority is given to charities operating in the United States and in the Pacific Northwest. We have
a good record of helping charities with donations of fine art and our support will continue in the future.
Donation Requirements
- Qualifying charities must provide proof of a 501(c)(3) determination
by the Internal Revenue Service.
- Donations of framed fine art are limited to the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area.
- Charity auction items are subject to a minimum reserve price depending on the size of the piece.
- Proof of the sale of an auction item must be provided by the charity including the name and address of the donor.
- Unsold auction items will be returned within 5 days of the fund raising event to us.
- Fine Art can be purchased but the check needs to be written to a qualifying charity, e.g. Easter Seals - Oregon.
- We reserve the right to withhold our support to a charity and to modify these terms at any time.
- Priority is given to charities that provide services and support of children in need.
