"The First Adjustment," a 24" x 18" painting rendered by artists John Dyess of St. Louis, Missouri, is one of six commemorative artworks up for auction at the Davenport, Iowa centennial celebration.
To commemorate the chiropractic profession's fascinating and colorful heritage, the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) commissioned 12 original oil or acrylic paintings depicting great moments in the history of chiropractic. These works of art are certain to enrich the visual quality of chiropractic publications for years to come.
The CCF offered the wonderful opportunity for individual DCs to own some of these original paintings when six of them were auctioned at the Washington, D.C. centennial celebration (see the June 5, 1995 issue of "DC"). Now, the second six paintings will be sold by silent auction at the Davenport celebration, with a minimum bid for each painting at $1,500. If you would like to make a bid by silent auction and are not able to attend the Davenport centennial celebration, you may mail or fax your offer to: Chiropractic Centennial Foundation, Commemorative Art Auction, P.O. Box 4522, Davenport, IA 52808-4522, FAX: (319) 326-8409.
