Twitter Art Exhibit in Norway
I follow @davidsandumart on twitter. A few weeks ago he tweeted a call for artists to exhibit at the 2nd Twitter-art-exhibit. http://www.davidsandumart.posterous.com/call-for-artists-2nd-twitter-art-exhibit-in-m
The first exhibit was announced October 21, 2010, and was organized to help the Moss public library raise funds for children's books. 260 twitter artists from 24 countries participated. Now, the Norwegian charity benefiting is, The Women's Crisis Center in Moss, where abused women and children can get help. See their website at http://www.moss.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=5277&AId=2515
Artists contribute postcard sized, hand painted original artwork, that will be sold to raise money.
Since any professional artist or amateur painter was allowed to enter, I decided to contribute! I created an artwork and will be posting my watercolour off today. My work’s title is: Healing Waters
The exhibition will open in Norway at the Moss Library on Friday April 13, 2012, 19:00 with a speech by the Mayor of Moss. There will be some media attention and David will also speak.
I think that this is a brilliant initiative and I hope a lot of money is raised. We need more people like David Sandum in the world. You can’t have too many angels!
