Skeleton Key: An Art Auction Benefiting the West Memphis Three

The Premiere of Damien Echols’ Art
May 12th @ 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco

We would like to thank all of the attendees of this amazing benefit. We raised over $10,000!

We would like to thank the performers and artists for contributing their time, talent and energy: Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Jonathan Richman, Matt Gonzalez, Michale Graves, Penelope Houston and Jacob Pitts

Each of you spent HOURS getting the event ready, staying throughout the entire night, and just wanted to be there to help make it great for the West Memphis Three. It wouldn’t have been a success without your help.

For information about how Damien Echols creates his art while on Death Row, please check out the interview conducted by Anje Vela.

Mick Rock, inimitable rock photographer says,
“I caught one of the documentaries awhile ago on HBO it seems to me these three guys were railroaded because they looked strange to their community…this is suppose to be the land of the free. They need help and I’m more than happy to give what I can to get the word out and Damien Echols is clearly an artist of talent.”
