The art auction is this weekend! You can bid on items in live auction or buy prints/cards from the Fine Art America gallery. All pieces donated by either patients with autoimmune arthritis, or members of their whanau. Read more below:
The International Autoimmune Arthritis Movement (IAAM)started as The 'Buckle Me Up" Movement in 2009, created as a way to raise awareness by rebranding the face of 'arthritis' with young and trendy jewelry (original “buckle bracelet” shown on left).
