RE: Would You Put Your Art Up For Auction to Help a Grieving Son Get Home for His Chamorro Mom's Funeral?

Hello @ablckbrd! I haven't ironed out all the details yet, but my conceptualization of how it would work is that if there is enough interest generated, we would set aside a single day, just a whole 24-hour period, in which all the artwork submitted/donated for the auction would be listed in separate posts, allowing people to bid on each piece of art separately (from my understanding of how the @steembay system works, each auction has to be carried out in a separate post).

I would also have one "indexing" post that gathers all the artwork into one main post with links to each one, so that people could find them all in one place. Then the auction would run for a whole 24 hour period and then at the end of it all whoever wins each one would link up with the artist and they can make arrangements for the finalization of the sale then.

I would indeed need a photo of the artwork to feature in the posts. It might also help for the artists to include a little blurb about their piece and why it's important to them, etc. to add to the emotional appeal of it all perhaps.

All the posts would be set at 50/50 rewards, and while all the proceeds from the actual sale would go to me, I would donate all the SBD earned from the posts to the artists. It won't be much compared to the price of the final sale, but I'm hoping that it would be an acceptable donation in return for their kindness and willing to donate their artwork, a piece of their heart and soul, to the fundraiser.

Wow, I guess I had a lot more details imagined up than I had originally thought :P Does this sound like an acceptable idea for the fundraiser?
