BANP #002, July 22nd and 23rd

I'm very proud to once again lend my meager support to Buy Art Not People for their #002 show. (BANP) is an initiative by artists to raise awareness and resources to combat modern slavery (aka Human Trafficking). BANP held its first event in December of 2010. I donated the collage Green Economy to the show, and I'm happy to say that it sold to the benefit of the Not For Sale Campaign.

BANP #002 differs in both scope and format from #001. Over 100 pieces, all completed on similar 6"x 6" boards, will be for sale. The Friday night ticket price (only $30.00) includes the purchase of one piece of art for all attendees, as well as the usual gallery good times, live music, and informative talks.

An added fun feature is that all the work will be anonymous; artists were instructed to sign the backs of the pieces. If you want to get the piece of your choosing (I assume it will be mine, hehe), come early. If you can't make it Friday, the work will still be on view on Saturday afternoon from 12-2.
