OPEN CALL: Submissions for Art and Photography for Hope in the City 2010

Friend and artist:

On behalf of Mosaic Visual Arts, I am personally inviting you to be one of the artists to be featured in the 3rd annual Hope in the City art gallery. The silent auction will run alongside Mosaic's HOPE IN THE CITY fashion show and art collaboration, which will be attended by hundreds of people. Proceeds from the art auction will go towards the relief effort in Haiti as we strive to bring them hope during these trying times.

So what can you do?

Create an original piece of art and/or submit a photograph that represents the theme of Hope in the City: Wear Your Story. This could relate to “the city”, what brings you hope, or even an image that gives a glimpse of your story or someone’s story of hope. Kindly keep in mind that the potential bidder will be looking to hang your artwork in their home.

For Photography, please email a jpg, at least 5x7 in size to: invertedfreedom@hotmail.com
Subject line: Photography Auction Submission.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: 03/12/10

If your photo is chosen, you will be notified via email and be requested to submit the larger file size to go to print.
The team is able to pay for printing and framing.

For non-photographic art, please e-mail invertedfreedom@hotmail.com to coordinate a time to collect your work.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR NON-PHOTOGRAPHIC ART: 03/14/10
Please note, we can also pick them up from you at the Mayan or Pasadena gatherings.
Artwork will be displayed in the gallery and in the show booklet, “Behind the Seams”. Again, all proceeds go directly to Beyond US and their ongoing work in Haiti.

Date of the Show: Wednesday, March 24th from 7-10pm
@ Vibiana (210 S. Main St., Downtown Los Angeles).

Please contact Evan Stookey at invertedfreedom@hotmail.com or (719) 432-8349 if you have any questions or concerns.

Common Thread Studio- February

Join us to serve South India

Art Show on February 19th

India Mtg & Orientation!

I am excited to hear about your interest in serving those in S. India!! Being part of the team that traveled to S. India last summer; we were all beyond moved to see first hand all the amazing things being done through Vikasitha & its outreach ministries. India is a country that has so many immediate needs from poverty, the aids epidemic, suicide rates, abandonment issues with children and widows....sadly the list goes on. Vikasitha has made a huge commitment by stepping into finding solutions for these issues and supporting those in need with spiritual and economic help. The leader and visionary at Vikasitha and his wife have done all this with very little outside financial help.

Beyond Us is committed to returning to Vijawada this summer to continue to invest and serve all those at Vikasitha and the outreach community there. There is an orientation this Sunday, February 14th after the Westside gathering for those interested in specifically joining the Fashion Team going to S. India this summer. Looking for additional people to join the team who have any of the following background in fashion/apparel, sewing knowledge, business and/or manufacturing. One of the main goals of the fashion team this summer is to help the women of the Self-Help center produce a product that can be sold here in the US to create a sustainable income for themselves and the Ministry in the future. So definitely looking for those ready to dream, create and invest in the lives of those at Vikasitha!! If you are interested, come to the orientation this Sunday to get more information and learn more details about the trip. If you have any questions or can't make it this Sunday, just contact me directly. Look forwarding to seeing you Sunday!

Sunday, February 14th, After Westside gathering around 12:45p in the front courtyard.
WEST L.A.
Beverly Hills High School
241 Moreno Dr, Beverly Hills


Feel free to pass on to those you may know who could be interested and have some of the background desired. If you are on this list and are no longer interested, please also let me know.

Thanks!!
