Rush: Alex Lifeson art print raising funds for The Kidney Foundation Of Canada



A limited-edition print by Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson is now available to help raise funds for The Kidney Foundation Of Canada.

Entitled “Sunflowers”, Lifeson’s print is limited to 300 copies, all signed by the artist.

This is a rare opportunity to own one of his paintings at a very reasonable cost. Alex's original works regularly sell for thousands of dollars. He has been a regular contributor of original art to The Kidney Foundation of Canada's "A Brush of Hope" project, where he receives hundreds of bids on his work.

Now, the Kidney Foundation and Alex have teamed up to produce this limited edition set of prints. The print is on high-quality, heavy stock. In addition, each print comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the Executive Director of the Atlantic Canada Branch of The Kidney Foundation of Canada, confirming that the print that you have purchased is one of only 300. The certificate also shows the print number (eg. Print No. 33 limited edition of 300). The certificate is printed on linen paper, making it ideal for framing with the art print or for displaying on its own.

The Foundation will ship all prints using an expedited shipping method. The cost of shipping and handling within Canada is $25, to the USA is $40, and internationally is $75. Please allow 3-5 business days for your order to be processed.

Please note that the print will be rolled and shipped in a tube. Prints are NOT framed, and specific print numbers cannot be selected.

For more information and to order a print (or donate to the Kidney Foundation), visit their website here.

Since its creation in 1964, The Kidney Foundation has helped millions of Canadians suffering from kidney failure and related disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, urinary tract infections and kidney stones.
