Bid for One-Off Artworks by Grimes, Hot Chip, Alabama Shakes and TV on the Radio
Try to outbid the rest of Australia's Grimes fans in FBi Radio's annual art auction.
How good at Pictionary would Grimes be? Would Mac Demarco's sketches found in an art gallery? How would Future Islands go in a life drawing class? Sydney's FBi Radio intended to find out, by inviting a list of over 30 musicians to try their hand at a handdrawn masterpiece.
Bringing back their wildly successful 'Brush With Fame' art auction, FBi asked a serious banquet of bands, rappers, ARIA-nominees, folksters, singers and beatmakers to create drawings on canvas especially for the station, ready for auction from Thursday 10 March (9pm AEDT) until Sunday 20 March (9pm AEDT). All proceeds raise funds for the independent, not-for-profit, top notch station.
Kudos to FBi for one of the best group show lineups around, y'ready? You (YOU) can own a handdrawn work by these guys.
