Not one of the ones up for bid, but it gives you an idea of what the customization is all about. View some of the Munnys up for bid.

Update August 23: We’ve got video coverage of how the event went. Read it here.

Ridiculously cute vinyl vinyl characters built atop by local and national artists are up for view at Redux. After that they’re up for auction.

All of the live auction proceeds from this event will go to support the free and local education and outreach initiatives of Redux Art Center. Local after-school programs that directly benefit from Redux’s outreach programs include the Boys and Girls Club, the Cannon St. YMCA, and the Girl Scouts of America, among others.

You can view them starting today (August 20) and the auction is Friday (August 22) at 8 p.m. at Redux (map).

The vinyl blanks run around $25.
