Community Auctions Geeky Art to Support Gulf Coast Recovery
The BlogHer community likes to recognize their favorite blog posts. It started with the Community Keynote, a session at the BlogHer Annual Conference where bloggers are invited to read their posts. But as the community grows, the tradition does, too.
This year, in addition to the Keynote, BlogHer recognized 90 posts as 2010 BlogHer Voices of the Year. In late July, I was notified that my post My Name Is Kate and I Am a Listener was selected as one of the 90 posts. I was thrilled to be included among the likes of Joanne Bamberger, Tracey Gaughran-Perez, and Liz Henry.
But I evidently didn't read the notification email well because it wasn't until recently I found that my post was inspiration for a terrific piece of art by Kalani Cropper, "Listen."
You see, all of the 2010 BlogHer Voices of the Year were used as inspiration for custom works of art and are now being auctioned to support long-term Gulf Coast recovery efforts.
Interested in bidding on this piece? Do it soon. It's only available until September 20. - K
