The Joe & Shirl Scholarships by Jarrett Krosoczka

Author-illustrator Jarrett Krosoczka is offering orginal artwork, a visit to his studio, and more to support the scholarship he created in honor of his grandparents.  Joe & Shirley raised him, and encouraged his artistic talent by enrolling him in art classes at the Worcester Art Museum. The love he has for them is evident in the videos he posted, explaining his desire to honor them by creating a way for a child -- who may not have the means to pursue his or her artistic dream -- to take art class at the WAM as he did.

If an auction isn't your style, he's also selling a book, Monkey Boy to Lunch Lady, that collects ten years worth of his sketchbooks and tells the story behind the art in each of his projects.  It's a great gift for any young artist in your life!
