Art from the HeArt

I wrote earlier this week about the shootings in Tucson and feeling like I needed to get it out, venting or drawing or something. Here’s a great opportunity for any of you feeling the same way, Art from the HeArt, which is based on using art to heal pain and supporting nonviolence and moving away from the hate speech that has been prevalent in politics here in the United States for the last few years…always a good thing, from my perspective (ask me sometime about the series of divorce quilts I did). It’s an online exhibit and blog; organizers are Linda Moran (digital and fiber artist), S. L. Drury (digital and fiber artist), and Anne Huskey Lockard (mixed-media artist). Linda’s community has been deeply affected by the Tucson shootings, and continues to be so.

The link to the prospectus is here, and there’s already one piece that’s been juried in. The work needs to be 8×10 to 9×12″, so it wouldn’t take you long to make something. It doesn’t go away if we ignore it…
