Art for charity is the practice of using art in some way to serve charitable causes. Artists may produce works specifically to be sold for charity or creators or owners of artistic works might donate all or part of the proceeds of sale to a good cause. Such sales are often conducted by auction. Alternatively, works may be exhibited (and possibly be available for sale) with ticket sales being donated.^{[1] [2]} Such exhibitions sometimes incorporate art related to or by those who benefit from the charitable donations.^[3]
