NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM Art Fundraiser is on Friday, May 18, 2012, 6 to 8pm in the lobby of CNN Building located at 820 First Street NE, Washington, DC.  Help support Albus Cavus’ art program at Perry Center. We serve young artists from Sursum Corda neighborhood. The center is threatened to close due to lack of funding and drastic redevelopment of the neighborhood that results in relocation of its residents, leaving our students without appropriate social and educational support. If you have followed this program, you know how much the students benefit and how much they learn from Ms. Alicia. Please allow her and the entire team to continue improving lives of these young people. You can support the program by placing bids for students’ art during Night at the Museum event on May 18, 2012 or online donation form.

Last Sunday I did something I have NEVER done. Actually it started a few weeks before last Sunday because I had to plan it out and even ask for help. I participated in my first Mural as one of the artists not a photographer.  I have painted plenty of walls and even helped plenty of muralists. Yes, I have stenciled and wheat pasted randomly on walls. Even covered a house in wheat pastes of my students. But for the first time ever I had my own work in a Women’s History Mural. It began with planning. My first thoughts when I heard about the project were to think back over all the Women’s History I had absorbed and take a quick refresher course through what our foremothers went through. I thought about the women’s suffrage movement and how the word “suffrage” means nothing to young women today who may take their right to vote for granted. I decided to recreate vintage women’s movement buttons with stencils. Buttons from the suffrage and equal rights movement are physical evidence of women’s struggle to equality. During the struggle, buttons communicate and unify by reaching out to kindred souls. They also lend an overt message to our mural and give it a voice. I hope they also remind and educate us to remember history and not take the little rights that we are allowed for granted. *Thanks to Juan Lopez for patience and help, I owe you. And thanks to Alicia and Peter for believing and building.* We are looking forward to a discussion panel about our Women’s History Mural at Busboys and Poets (5/K) this Saturday, March 24 at 5pm.
