"Adele in Our Garden"
by Richard Schmid

Everyone:

The sale of art at our auction has literally helped protect 105 square miles of pristine mountain scenery, save homes from destruction, provide medical aid to people far from the nearest hospital and save lives. 

Participating in our auction will effectively put you shoulder to shoulder with our fire department responders on all our emergency responses next year.   

We can't thank you enough for that. 

The Power of Art to fight fire.

Auction Patrons:

Richard Schmid has personally selected the paintings for the 2011 Live Auction!
You may view the images of these works in a slideshow or by visiting individual artists on our Meet the Artists page. More paintings will be added in the coming months.

The Richard Schmid Fine Art Auction is a fundraiser for the Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department. The most devastating and costly fire in our history recently destroyed 3,000 acres of forest and 13 homes this spring. We were, however, very fortunate that no lives were lost.

Our community is extremely grateful to the many fine artists and art patrons who have supported this fire department over the years. Be assured that one hundred percent of the profits from this auction goes directly to the operation of the department and safety of our community.

Thank you all so much for your support,

Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department
