Sister artists Meg Hunt and Alice Hunt came up with the idea out of a desire to help Japan and involve their existing community of artists and illustrators. The "Art For Japan" auctions are running on Ebay the entire month of May, with auction updates every Tuesday and Thursday. All funds raised will be donated to AmeriCares and tagged for Japan relief. AmeriCares, a nonpartisan and nondenominational organization, uses 99% of its revenue on it's charitable programs.
