STEVE MASON – Open Arms Embracing Change Through Art / Viet Nam www.cooleatz.com/connections/openarms.htm
Join us for an Open Arms Embracing Change Through Art featuring the work of award winning photographer Steve Mason. The exhibit features images from a winter 2005 and 2006 Open Arms Through Art pilot project to Viet Nam. Open Arms Through Art is a newly formed non-profit committed to raising critical awareness and funds for a variety of social and environmental causes that resonate with a global audience. www.openarmsthroughart.org.
The Viet Nam pilot project captures images of those most impacted by the nation's poverty and tumultuous past—the children. Open Arms will raise awareness and funds that will be donated to well-respected, sustainable local organizations that work for their betterment.. With the purchase of a professional high-quality framed photograph each contributor has an opportunity to bring a piece of the Open Arm's Viet Nam project in to their home or office. This creates a spiraling opportunity to raise awareness to issues that deserve the attention of a wider audience.
The exhibit will run through June 30, 2006.
