The Art of Action: MANIFEST HOPE: DC

Happy New Year, people! New year and the beginning of a new era, right? I am exited to see the changes that this year is bringing us... will take a lot of positivity and patience to move forward as the global struggle to restore hope and economic stability continues. My year began with an amazing news: I got invited to submit a new piece to the MANIFEST HOPE: DC exhibit preceeding the much-anticipated Inauguration ceremony. The exhibit's closing gala will feature Santogold and De La Soul and the works will be judged by high profile artists and activists, such as Anne Ellegood–David Rolf–Eric Hilton–Laura Dawn–Robbie Conal-Shepard Fairey–Spike Lee–Van Jones

Along with its partners, MoveOn.org Political Action, the Service Employees International Union and Obey Giant, MANIFEST HOPE: DC, will issue an inspiring visual call-to-action, encouraging a redirection of public energy toward true reform in three key areas: health care reform, worker's right and green economy

The MANIFEST HOPE: DC Gallery will be open to the public in Washington, DC for the days preceding the Presidential Inauguration, Saturday, January 17th, 2009 through Monday, January 19th, 2009 between the hours of 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM. Art exhibition management will be provided by our Washington, DC gallery partner, Irvine Contemporary.
