Redbud Gallery sponsored a fundraising exhibition on January 12, 2002. 100% of the net proceeds were donated to the American Red Cross. Top artists in America created 7.5" x 6.5" works that were available for viewing at Redbud Gallery starting January 8, 2002. Artists Dan Allison, John Baldessari, David Best, Bill Davenport, George Herms, Lucas Johnson, Helen Altman, James Surls, Sharon Kopriva, Dee Wolff, Al Souza, Ed Blackbum, Earl Staley, and many others participated. The name of the artist appeared on the back of each individual piece of art.
