Of course, Dana is also part of Art in Heat.
I’ve donated “The Protector” to the Re:Mission fundraiser. Other artists include: Ray Caesar, ZOSO, Dave Chung, Paul Barnes, Lesley Reppeteaux, Josh Taylor, and many, many more. Here’s the scoop…
Re:Mission is a community art project that will benefit children with cancer treated at the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. For one evening only, artists worldwide will be featuring their donated works at Thinkspace Gallery in the arts district located in Silverlake, California, on Saturday, June 2nd from 6pm – 11pm. Art pieces will be sold at a discount with 100% of the proceeds supporting the cause. Proceeds from the show will support two things:
1. An art book displaying all donated work from each artist. Copies of this book will be distributed to children with cancer at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
2. The rest of the proceeds will be donated to support the amazing Mark Taper & Johnny Mercer Artists Program at Childrens Hospital, which offers patients and their family members invaluable coping mechanisms through art, music, and poetry.
I’ll be open both days from 12 to 5! More info, maps and participating artists can be found at the Mid City Artists website.
Since the beginning of the year I’ve finished art for 3 kids’ books. It’s a bit too early to give out the details on the books, but you can see a sampling of the art below. I’m scheduled to do a book signing at the National Convention for the ALA (American Library Association) this June at the D.C. Convention Center.
