Local artists involved in fire fighters art project

The Miami Fire Fighters Charitable Fund Organization is holding the Inaugural City of Miami Paramedic & Firefighter Gala on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at the Miami Hilton downtown.

This Gala to raise money for firetrucks. The city currently has an adversely limited amount of fire-rescue trucks, all of which are in extremely poor condition. Each truck costs $250,000.

As part of the event, six artists have been chosen to paint four fire helmets and two vintage fire extinguishers.

Here are a couple of before imgages. I'll show you the finsihed pieces next week after they are completed and ready for the auction. The Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery is ground zero for the items, they will collect and transport the finished art to the auction.
