OBEY Screen prints offered on Ebay to benefit Brooklyn School
“Toe The Line” is an online art auction to raise funds for the PTA-funded programs at Public School 132 (P.S. 132) in Brooklyn, NY.
Toe the Line was conceived of by Brooklyn-based painter and photographer, Logan Hicks, whose son (Sailor) attends the school. The idea came to Hicks while discussing yet another DOE budget cut with his girlfriend, Kristen Zarcadoolas, P.S. 132 PTA President and Sailor’s mom.
“There is a lack of resources at every level within the public school system and I want to do all that I can to ensure that my son has a proper education,” says Hicks. “There is a moral responsibility to do everything possible to help support the public education.” He decided to put out a call out to friends to see if they were willing to lend a hand by donating their artwork, prints, or books to be auctioned. “I used the resources I had to help in the best way I could.” After calling on his creative friends, Hicks says, “I was thrilled by the response. Nearly everyone said they’d be happy to donate something.”

“Toe the Line”
“Toe the Line” is a nautical saying that was used when sailors were called to line up at attention, their toes touching a seam in the deck planking. The saying has become a metaphor meaning ‘to rise to the occasion’. This auction is held on behalf of Sailor Hicks, the son of Logan Hicks and Kristen Zarcadoolas.
