The 2022 MusiCares person of the year, Joni Mitchell, is set to donate an artist proof print of her original painting of Jimi Hendrix to the MusiCares’ Grammy week charity auction starting on January 30, 2022, reports Mia Nazareno of Billboard.
Other notable auction items include original artwork from KISS frontman Gene Simmons, Ozzy Osborne’s leather coat signed by the Prince of Darkness, and a “special item” from the late Chris Cornell’s estate.
Proceeds from the charity auction will benefit the MusiCares foundation, “which provides the music community a support system of health and human services across a spectrum of need including physical and mental health, addiction recovery, unforeseen personal emergencies and disaster relief,” according to a statement.
The event is organized in partnership with Julien’s auctions, and will take place both live at their location in Beverly Hills, California, and virtually on julienslive.com. To learn more, visit juliensauctions.com.
