MINUIT CONTRIBUTE ARTWORK FOR ART LOVES HAITI

Three photographic prints of original artwork from latest Minuit album cover are signed by the band, framed together in sequence, and are currently up for auction on Trade Me. The artwork was made by Minuit’s singer, Ruth Carr, for their latest album cover. It involved a month of her separating 'hundreds and thousands' with tweezers into different colour groupings and then creating new colour variations to emphasise different parts of the world.

Art Loves Haiti was conceived on January 14, 2010, when artist Sarah Larnach and musician Pip Brown auctioned a rare piece of Ladyhawke artwork to contribute to the aid effort in Haiti. The auction received an overwhelming response from compassionate individuals wanting to help. Larnach’s sister, Emily Sanson-Rejouis, lost her husband and two young daughters in the earthquake. Art Loves Haiti aims to relieve the suffering, and help rebuild the lives of other children and their families affected by the tragedy.

Larnach is also calling for other artists, big or small, to donate a piece with all proceeds going to Save the Children who are on the ground in Haiti. Anyone who would like to donate art can contact Sarah via: art4haiti@gmail.com
