Third Twitter Art Exhibit - L.A.

Leaving Bamboo
Sumi-e by Casey Shannon 

This is my contribution to the (#twitterartexhibit) Twitter Art Exhibit in Los Angeles, CA. 
WHERE
Exhale Unlimited (E.U.) Gallery
953 Chung King Road, Los Angeles, CA 90012
        WHEN          
Saturday, January 12, 2013 | 7-10PM
Show runs January 12 – February 10, 2013


#TwitterArtExhibit has moved into a new phase. The basic idea is an exhibition where artists from around the world donate original postcard-sized art to an exhibition where the proceeds of the sale of the art go to a non-profit organization. Cards are sold for $35 USD.

The first two exhibits were organized by David Sandum (twitter profile:
@DavidSandumArt) in 2010 in Norway for children's books in his home town library of Moss. And, in 2012, the Women's Crisis Center also in his home town.

This third exhibition will be taking place in Los Angeles, CA. USA. Future #TwitterArtExhibits will be organized in various places around the world with a target of two to three exhibitions a year.


A new website has been developed for the organization of the #TwitterArtExhibit
http://twitterartexhibit.org. Here you can find the information about this new format and  about the L.A. exhibition which is for the benefit of under-served youth (18-25) in L.A.’s Rampart District in the arts. Art Division LA The Exhibition is hosted at Exhale Unlimited (E.U.) Gallery.

I have participated in all of these exhibits. They serve as a way for me to help others in the best way that I know how to do - through my art!
You can also participate.
Entries are due by January 4, 2013

In their words, through their eyes, by their hands!

Book
In their words, through their eyes, by their hands
by Art for Cancer 

In February 2012, the ART for Cancer Foundation held a week long exhibit at Toronto City Hall with the goal of continuing to raise awareness of the power of the creative process as a healing force. I was honored to have my artwork and my story displayed at this exhibit. The art exhibit was a wonderful kaleidoscope of colour, texture, shapes, and images, each uniquely demonstrating the healing power of art. Many participants shared their personal stories, which brought a level of depth and meaning far beyond the aesthetics of the art.

There were so many incredible stories of courage and hope that the one week exhibit did not do them justice! This book is a collection of their stories- in their own words, and their art – through their eyes and by their hands. My art and my story are featured in this beautiful publication. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to and benefit the:

Beyond Calligraphy

(Logo used with permission)

Beyond Calligraphy (BC)
'Beyond Calligraphy' is a superior site. It offers the reader a wealth of information. The site offers information on calligraphy events, calligraphy history, news, and other information. This site hosts a Japanese and Chinese calligraphy search as well (etymology). There are articles from guest artists and BC offers partnership with them. This is truly an inspiring website. The site has a very creative section called 'Inspire Others'. The purpose of this section is to get people more inspired about what they love, Asian Calligraphy and Sumi-e.
