Artsy art show and refugees

despite being censored last year, i am at it again.

view my paintings at Artvocacy Seattle!

Refugee ArtVocacy is an exhibition by King County artists and performers who came to the US as refugees. ArtVocacy is a way for these artists to celebrate their talents and skills with other refugees as well as with the greater community. ArtVocacy's artists and performers recognize the vital cultural contributions of the world’s refugees and seek to raise awareness of the oppression throughout the world that creates refugee crises.

Artvocacy show tomorrow

goofy title, worthy cause. this is one of the most worthiest causes i can imagine, actually, to get your ass out and see some cool art. i will be showing a few of my pieces, some you've never seen before. and, if you ever wanted to buy my art but postponed, this is the best opportunity - i am donating half of the proceeds to the refugee rescue committee. since it's "refugee art" show, i will be dressed as a russian refugee, wildly waving a half empty bottle of vodka. just kidding. unless you bring a bottle of vodka.

the blurb:

TheIRC Seattle

Join the International Rescue Committee in Seattle for a free evening of art and performance on June 19th from 6:00 to 9:30 pm at the Capitol Hill Arts Center Showroom in honor of World Refugee Day. Titled Artvocacy, this is a show by refugee artists to share their work and culture with the community. This year’s show includes performances from Laotian and Bosnian dance troupes, and features artists from around the world. The event is sponsored by the Mayor’s Office of Art and Cultural Affairs, Humanities Washington, the Capitol Hill Arts Center, and ARTech.

WHERE: Capitol Hill Arts Center, 1621 12th Ave, Seattle 98122.

WHEN: Tuesday June 19th, VIP reception 5:00-6:00pm, General Public 6:00-9:30pm

COST: General Public *Free* ; VIP reception $25

hoot! art!

on december 31st, i signed the last painting as '06. on january 1st, i signed the first painting as '07. the signing is very important to me, because otherwise i would work on every painting indefinitely.
