For Cleveland, OH area dopers interested in supporting a great cause: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 13! 4 Live Bands Tons of art from local artists up for raffle Cover charge only $7 Anyway, the thing is, the Free Medical Clinic is a really awesome thing for people who can’t afford health care. There is going to be music by local bands plus at least 10 artists are donating work to be raffled off (actually a [Chinese auction](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_auction)) with the proceeds going to the Clinic. Additionally, any sales at the gallery will donate 10% to the Clinic. I am donating 2 prints, a bunch of other people are donating other artwork, jewelry, etc. The gallery will also be open afterward for an afterparty with the bands and artists. The bands and auction/raffle thing are at the Beachland Ballroom and the gallery is directly across the street.
