<p>A friend sent me this link to an art auction being held by a Port Elizabeth, South Africa primary school to support art education at their school. I was told by my friend that the student artists have had only one art class with the teacher they are trying to retain (his art work is featured as well). What really impressed me was how well this was going. They had a kick-off live auction whose outcome set the minimum bids for an eBay auction, very clever. Schools may want to consider something similar. </p>
