LIMITED EDITION NEW ORLEANS SAINTS’ SILKSCREEN BENEFITS LOUISIANA CHARITIES
Acclaimed artist Alex Beard, along with New Orleans Saints Owner/ Executive Vice-President Rita Benson LeBlanc, recently unveiled silkscreens of Beard’s original painting, Geaux Saints Geaux! An extremely limited number of only 500 prints will be sold, with the proceeds directly benefiting charities across Louisiana.

And, a select few can own a limited edition Geaux Saints Geaux silkscreen signed by a favorite Saints star!

Beard based his painting on the state flag of Louisiana. “The Saints are integral to the fabric of life in Louisiana,” says Beard. “I wanted my painting to reflect the importance of the relationship between the Saints, Louisiana, and its citizens. That the proceeds from the silkscreen sales will go to charities around the state shows that we are all tied together as one community looking out for each other.”

The silkscreens are available at www.alexbeardstudio.com at varying price points:

 Signed by artist Alex Beard starting at $250

 Signed by Beard and Coach Sean Payton starting at $500
 Signed by Beard and Drew Brees starting at $500

 Signed by Beard and Marques Colston starting at $500
 Signed by Beard and Jonathan Vilma starting at $500

 Signed by Beard, Payton, Brees, Bush, Colston and Vilma starting at $1500

“We couldn’t be happier to work with Alex Beard to raise funds for charities in Louisiana,” said LeBlanc. “Geaux Saints Geaux perfectly demonstrates how committed the Saints are to our state, our community, and our fans.”

All are available now for purchase online at www.alexbeardstudio.com. You can also link to the Alex Beard Studio’s home page through www.neworleanssaints.com to purchase.
