To commemorate the chiropractic profession's rich and colorful heritage, the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) has commissioned 12 original oil or acrylic paintings depicting great moments in the story of chiropractic. These historic artworks will enrich the visual quality of chiropractic publications for years to come. Additionally, 12 individuals or institutions will have the opportunity to own the originals.
Six of the original art works will be sold by silent auction at the Washington D.C., centennial celebration. The second six will be auctioned at the Davenport centennial celebration. If you would like to make a bid by silent auction and are not able to attend either celebration venue, you may mail or fax your offer to:
