    LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Art Bridges Gallery, an on-line
gallery of well-known Southern California artists, announces that it will

    Thea Robertshaw is the featured artist in the Art Bridges Gallery fire

California. (50% of the proceeds from this artwork will be donated to the
Red Cross for victims of the Poway fire.)
    Woven into the tapestry of each artwork is "Hope in Tomorrow." The
special artwork that can be purchased to assist the victims includes
drawings, paintings and sculpture such as:

    Joseph Gatto, Craftsman, best expressed the feelings of the Art Bridges
Gallery artists by saying, "At this time of sorrow and tragedy, many people
are rebuilding their lives as well as their homes, and from our hearts we
are offering food for the soul." Gallery Director Joan DeBruin adds, "The
artists said they feel grateful to be able to offer their services in this
way - art is what they know. This is an incomparable way to donate to a
cause that affects all of us."
    Art Bridges Gallery is a one-of-a-kind online experience for
businesses, collectors and the public. The online gallery can be navigated
through three distinct gallery spaces.
    The artwork may be picked up at the artist's studio. Additional costs
will apply if the artwork needs to be shipped. (California taxes will apply
since Art Bridges Gallery is not a non-profit organization.) The gallery
includes a secure means to purchase these exceptional pieces.
