Last Call for Children’s Book Art for Holiday Auction

Artists and illustrators have until this Friday, November 15, to submit original children’s book art for the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression’s holiday auction. The week-long auction launches on eBay on November 26. Last year, more than 50 artists and illustrators contributed to the auction, which helps support ABFFE’s defense of the free speech rights of kids.

“The Holiday Children’s Art Auction will give people around the country a chance to purchase wonderful holiday gifts and support free speech,” said ABFFE President Chris Finan.

A JPEG of donated artwork must be sent to ABFFE via e-mail by November 15; the actual artwork must be received at ABFFE’s offices by November 26. A donation form is available here.

The holiday auction is the online version of the children’s book art auction that is held during BookExpo America (BEA). The next BEA auction will be held on May 28, 2014, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the River Pavilion of the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
