Posting 04/10/08: Support our Vets!
I spent some time this morning at the Pathway Home project at the Veterans Home in Yountville. This new project is a residential program for veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) fully funded by private donations. There are currently six residents with room for 35 total.
The facilities are very nice, especially given the age of the buildings! They have televisions, exercise and recreation equipment, etc., all donated. The thing they don't have is any art on their walls. The walls are mostly bare, and I would like us to change that. If we can gather some materials, I'll be happy to bring it to them. If you have paintings, photos, wall hangings, etc. please let me know. I'll pick a date or dates to bring stuff in based on response. For now, please do not bring anything to me!!!

Recognizing that so much of our national debate is conducted in imagery -- and that tremendous effort is expended to spin things toward the status quo -- the call is going out to artists to use our expressive powers and social imagination to focus public attention on whatever must be put right and whatever suggests how that may be accomplished. SPARC, the Social and Public Art Resource Center in Venice, California, has inaugurated the National Call to Artists, a Web repository for images, songs, scripts, and ideas. A key aim is to challenge and assist activists to make effective use of creative imagery, action, and imagination in mobilizing awareness and participation in social action. It's easy to download artwork to the site, and activists are free to make use of it. Please share this information today!

Posting 04/10/08: Support our Vets!
I spent some time this morning at the Pathway Home project at the Veterans Home in Yountville. This new project is a residential program for veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) fully funded by private donations. There are currently six residents with room for 35 total.
The facilities are very nice, especially given the age of the buildings! They have televisions, exercise and recreation equipment, etc., all donated. The thing they don't have is any art on their walls. The walls are mostly bare, and I would like us to change that. If we can gather some materials, I'll be happy to bring it to them. If you have paintings, photos, wall hangings, etc. please let me know. I'll pick a date or dates to bring stuff in based on response. For now, please do not bring anything to me!!!
