Want To Own Artwork By Demi Lovato? Just Take Action.
The Bustle cover star is making social impact easier (and more productive!) than ever.
2020 was going to be a big year for Demi Lovato. With a new album and tour on the horizon, the only thing that could stop the determined singer was, well, the same thing that stopped everyone else — a worldwide pandemic. And though fans will have to wait to stand in a sold-out arena scream-singing "Tell Me You Love Me" at the top of their lungs, the singer recently revealed to Bustle that she has redirected her artistic expression into another medium that will inspire fans to take action. On Tuesday, Lovato launched an action auction with Propeller that encourages fans to "bid" for a chance to win signed photography or even item of clothing from Lovato's collection.
Starting July 7, fans can use Propeller to win various items listed by Lovato, from original photography to Lovato's personal Bruce Springsteen shirt worn on tour, by completing any number of social actions. Keep scrolling to see a few spotlighted items available to fans as well as Lovato's thoughts on each piece. Details on how to "bid" on the items seen below, as well as more personal and unique memorabilia, follows.

"When the stay at home orders were first put in place, I found myself enjoying the small things like taking my dogs for a walk. I was constantly struck by the simple beauty in my neighborhood and was inspired to start taking photos. Photography has really helped me slow down and stop to ‘smell the roses’. Too frequently, the simple things in life are overlooked, like these dewy roses."

"There’s always something really magical about Joshua Tree. During a recent trip I was struck by all of the beautiful colors as we usually think of deserts being filled with shades of brown, but look at that blue! I thought this little patch of flowers was so beautiful and the lighting was incredible."

"Over the last few months, it’s been really nice to go for drives and see how beautiful Southern California is and clear my mind. I made the drive up to Antelope Valley just north of the city to see the amazing fields of orange poppies. I can almost smell the floral scent and feel the warm sunshine when I look back at this photo."
So how do you "bid"? Money isn't an issue when it comes to having the opportunity to own something by Lovato.
