To celebrate and honor the Pierce County AIDS Foundation's 25 years of service, South Sound artists created pieces in every medium - mixed media, pen and ink, acrylics, charcoal, and more - with one common thread: the red AIDS awareness ribbon is woven into the artwork either literally or symbolically.

Ten selected pieces are currently on display at Corina Bakery and will remain up until Nov. 30. On Dec. 1, the art will be sold via silent auction at the Tacoma Art Museum on World AIDS Day.

So scope out your piece and get ready to bid, yo.

Coinciding with Thursday's Art Walk, Corina Bakery will host Art for AIDS 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15. During the event, attendees can meet the artists of the 10 selected pieces and hob nob over light refreshments.

The 10 artists in attendance and their media are: Patrushka (gouache on wood); Jennifer Preston Chushcoff (mixed media encaustic), Cheri O'Brien (gouache on watercolor paper), Megan Johnson (mixed media), Kathryn Anderson (acrylic on canvas), Roland Hamel & Elena Hamel (text with pen and ink), Savy Jane (acrylic and charcoal), Barbra Anderson (watercolor paint and pencil), Malinda Ayers (acrylic), and Susan Russell Hall (mixed media).

Most of the artists are local or have ties to the Tacoma or Northwest community.

You can go look up what gouache is now. No one is looking.
