Proceeds from an auction this weekend will benefit artists, but not in the way one might think.

The Santa Fe Artists’ Medical Fund Celebration 6-inch-by-6-inch Show and Silent Auction is a major money-raiser for the namesake fund, which was founded in 1996 by Armond Lara and Jack Stamm. They formed it after an artist friend had broken his leg and needed medical care.

In the first year, a group of the artist’s friends created small paintings to be auctioned. The show now features traditional 6-by-6-inch works by various artists, 8-by-10-inch photography, small sculptures, and wine and snacks. — B.S.
