The Art of Dying

A month long exhibition and silent auction featuring works by 50 local artists to benefit Kairos Dwelling, a nonprofit home for the terminally ill opens Jan. 7, at Little Cities Gallery, Michegan. Artists have donated their works for the silent auction.
All the proceeds from the auction will go to Kairos, whose attempt to "unplug" death from institutional constraints and regulations has drawn visitors who want to do something similar in their communities.
Lauri Holmes, a member of the Kairos board of directors, said that although it's unusual to link art and a place for people who are dying, a fund-raising partnership makes sense.
Little Cities Gallery's Ted Schnur said:"Art is a fun thing, a life-affirming act, a rejuvenation of the spirit. We think it's a nice tie-in."
