Portraits for Purpose

Portraits For Purpose is a charity auction established to increase awareness for modern painting and its functionality and benefit charities making a difference around the world.

The 2018 event featured a silent auction of original paintings of iconic figures by New York City artist Tyler Loftis. 100% of proceeds benefitted the charity of the sitter's choice. Using the image and influence of these subjects, Portraits for Purpose showcased the impact art can have on a community, big or small, while bringing awareness to the art and functional application of painting.
