Subject: Fw: Art Against War II - Call Out!
Say No To Silence and Complicity
Art Against War - Cube Gallery
Aug. 30 - Sept. 3
As artists, it is time to speak out.
The violence, bloodshed and war crimes being
committed against the civilians of Lebanon,
Palestinian and Israel alike -- and
Canada's complicity in this conflict is a call to
action. War is being waged on the bodies of
children, the weak, the elderly and on the
environment. The age-old war theatre of cowards.
Regardless of sides - we want to stand up for the
victims of war. We can stand by and watch or we
can protest.
Use your art to denounce Canada's acquiescence
to this war. Paint, Scrape, Cut, Paste, Make,
Break, Rebuild, Appropriate - but make art that
will be a cry against war and a call for peace.
Bring or send your anti-war art (one piece only,
please) in the medium of your choice to the Cube
Gallery 10- 4 pm, Monday, August 28. Be a
part of this exhibition and be a voice among
artists against war. This is a non- juried
event. Please do not send proposals or
submissions - just do it! This is our
opportunity as artists to be heard, to protest,
to send prayers of support to the victims of the
bombings in Lebanon.
The only criteria for this show, is that your art
is a protest against war - no apologists please.
If you are sending from out of town -- please
arrange for pick up Sunday Sept. 3 or send it
with an SASE. (If you wish to sell your art --
50% goes to the artist, 25% of the sale will go
to Médecins Sans Frontières and 25% to Cube
gallery, but your art does not have to be for
sale)
A vernissage/fundraiser for Médecins Sans
Frontières and their work in Lebanon, with music
and poetry (let us know if you want to be in the
line-up at the open-mike) will be held
on Wednesday, August 30 the art show will run
until Sunday Sept. 3
