Small Works (for a Big Problem): Hurricane Relief Benefit Show
I'm working with a couple of wonderful and talented and amazing people to put together an art show at Roxie's in Starkville, MS. This is the email that was sent across the country. Want to be in a show with work from around the nation? This is your shot. Hey, maybe Morgan Freeman will come! (someone said that to me earlier today.) I think I've found someone to make a website for us, so we should have something by middle of next week.
Hurricane Katrina has devastated the Gulf Coast, and we are still watching the repercussions unfold. It is difficult to know how to respond to such widespread suffering. Many of us feel that we want to help, but we just don't know what to do.
It took some thinking, but we've figured out a way we all can help. Small Works (for a Big Problem): Hurricane Relief is an
installation show featuring work from around the U.S. The show will be at Roxie's, in Starkville, MS, and the auction will begin at 8:00 pm, September 22nd. Jason Jones and Ming Donkey will play. The pieces will be sold in a silent auction and will open at $15. The proceeds of the benefit will go to the Red Cross on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We've booked the space and the bands, now we need your work.
These are the specs:
-All work must be 4" x 6", because the work will be displayed in a grid.
-Pieces may be any medium or subject matter.
-All work must be ready to hang easily with T-pins or small nails.
-All pieces should be labeled on the back with the artist's name, the title of the piece, and contact information.
-All submissions must arrive by Sept. 18, 2005, and should be mailed or handed to Jamie Murphey, 621 University Dr., Apt. C., Starkville, MS 39759.
{All work is a donation and the organizers reserve the right not to include pieces in the exhibit for any reason.}
Those of us with family and friends on the Coast have been deeply affected by this disaster, and we are very moved by the outpouring of concern. Thank you for helping us make a difference.
I know this is schmaltzy, but I love you guys. This has been a crazy couple of weeks. I'm very blessed to have such amazing friends.
