This domain name is for the future creation of a website that will benefit various charitable organisations or will itself become such an organisation, with any luck.
I have some ideas which would generate
funds for worthy causes through selling works of art. I hope my ideas will one
day, get off the drawing board.
Below are examples of how the ideas would work on
www.art2aid.com

Note: Seller/dealer chooses
his/her charity
(10% min) on each transfer.
A donation is made on each transfer over the 'life' of the work
and
should start with the artist making the first donation.
Artist and buyers/sellers contact their chosen charities and inform
www.art2aid.com with copy of
receipt from the charity. The details would be posted onto the website. www.art2aid.com
would show the image on website (after consideration of all legal details).
Interested buyers could bid/offer to buy work shown on the website.
Artists could offer to sell their work on the website.
Buyers could offer to buy other artists work from the site.
www.art2aid.com would post the type of work buyers want.
Artists interested in the
scheme could submit their details and work they have for sale or willing to do
to get into the system.
Site becomes a trading post supporting artist, seller/buyer and charity needs.
Charities could get involved by posting a list of ideas of work that they know
could be sold to buyers. So charities come on board when they see funds
generated in this way.
