Independent, non-for-profit Australian station FBi Radio is hosting an auction of “musician-made masterpieces” as its annual fundraising campaign. FBi asks artists who come through the station to make an original piece of art with a blank white canvas and fabric markers. The artists then donate their work to be sold for FBI's "Brush With Fame" auction for bids starting at AUD $50. The auction features art by major names in music of the likes of Mac Demarco (currently running for $177), Run the Jewels ($202), Grimes ($305), and Courtney Barnett ($320).
Check out the full list of artists featured:
Alabama Shakes, Albert Hammond Jr, Alison Wonderland, Benjamin Booker, Best Coast, Cosmo’s Midnight, Courtney Barnett, DIIV, Django Django, Dune Rats, Elliphant & MØ, Future Islands, Grimes, Hot Chip, The Internet, Little Simz, Mac Demarco, Matt Huynh, Metz, Neneh Cherry, Parquet Courts, Perfect Pussy, Perfume Genius, Peter Bibby, Purity Ring, The Rubens, Run The Jewels, Rustie, Thundercat, Total Giovanni, TV On The Radio, Tycho, Vic Mensa
