Helping Haiti is Qee: VINYL CPH Project

January 2010 - Toy2R, committed to helping the people of Haiti, would like to take this opportunity to share this unique opportunity for art collectors to help.

On December 1st, The Exhibition Vinyl Cph, was held in Copenhagen at the Danish Architecture Center (DAC). The show runs through February 2nd (this coming Tuesday) and features over 30 original customized 16 inch Toyer Qee figures. More than 650 people where in attendance to view this unique take on the Toyer Qee. From painted and sculpted designs to a Toyer made out of more than fifty 2.5" Toyer Qees - each piece is an incredible work of art.

The aim of the project was to break down the borders between art and graphic design without any limitations. Vinyl Cph was curated by Jesper Elg and Soren Rose Kjaer, an ambassador for the Red Cross. Soren contacted Toy2R with the idea of donating proceeds from the sale of these pieces to support the relief efforts in Haiti. These amazing creations are now up for auction at http://vinylcph.dk/, where 50% of the proceeds will go directly to the Danish Red Cross Organization to help Haiti. Bids will be accepted through February 2nd and shipping is available through Fedex or DHL.

Time is running short for a chance to own one of these pieces. With help from art collectors and designer toy fans, we can help those in need in Haiti. Go to http://vinylcph.dk/ or www.sorenrose.com now.

Toy2R would like to thank everyone involved in this project. Images of each custom will be included in the Qee Gallery at www.toy2rusa.com once the auction concludes.
