100 Heads for Haiti was conceived by Spur Design as a way that 100 artists could contribute equally to help raise money for Doctors Without Borders in the wake of the earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010. Invited artists contributed original drawings, paintings, collages and prints of a head that would be sold for $100 with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders.

Exhibition curator David Plunkert says ,”This event was a way for 100 artists to unify as a group in an effort to do help others. The illustration community’s response has been tremendous and many artists went well beyond what they were asked to do.”

The exhibition opened in Spur Design’s gallery on April 10, 2010.  The entire collection of heads has been collected on a group poster that is available for purchase.
