Yuri, the curator at the gallery, is a master printmaker. His latest series is called Red Tent 212282010, and is a relatively-involved Olympic protest.
[The Pivot Legal Society in Vancouver] will be using red tents to visually bring awareness to the issue to the world media in Vancouver from Feb 12 – 28, 2010. A very important time to be doing this. Visit their website and learn more about what great work they are doing. www.pivotlegal.org
So I decided to make this limited edition piece of art to raise awareness and money to support this cause, plus a little more. First, I hope to do is raise enough money to give a $500 donation to the Pivot Legal Society’s Red Tent campaign. Second, to buy $1,000 worth of art supplies and distribute it directly to artists in my community who are homeless or have experienced homelessness.
For just $25, you can help me achieve this and get a piece of my art as well!
