LA Vs. WAR II: Art for Peace in the Hope Era
Announces Final Programming, Artist Confirmations, Special Public Appearances,
Teach-Ins, Workshops & Musical Line-Up

(Los Angeles) – LA Vs. War II: Art for Peace in the Hope Era returns for three days from Sept. 9 -11, 2011 commemorating the ten-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a massive group art exhibition in Downtown Los Angeles at The Vortex Philanthropic Space.

Artists from LA and beyond will examine the questions: After 10 years of the Global War on Terror, where do we now stand as a nation? Is the world a safer place? Where does the Peace movement go from here?

Teach-ins will be held with LA Vs. War grassroots activist-partners Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), Code Pink, Youth Justice Coalition, Antiwar.com, Center for the Study of Political Graphics, Campaign to Rescind Special Order 11 and Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB) in an effort to inform and energize attendees in transforming their own lives and communities.

In the days leading up to the event, LA Vs. War organizers have confirmed two additional public peace murals by acclaimed street artists El Mac and Vyal. The group mural, “LA Madre Vs. WAR” by WERC, GERA, Contra and JC is currently running at the show’s venue.

Confirmed LA Vs. War II programming below, please see attached program for complete schedule and details.

…and the Boss Laughs

My print “…and the Boss Laughs” is now part of the permanent collection at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio. It will be on display as part of their upcoming exhibit and catalog, Estampas de la Raza. The print is a 26″x20″ hand pulled, 8 color (including a split fountain), serigraph printed at Self Help Graphics & Art in East Los Angeles.

 

I will post the exhibition info shortly.

I have a few of these prints still available for purchase. Send me an email if interested.
