From the past, to the present, and on to the future… Two events in one highlight dramatic progress–in the growth of an individual artist, and in our national march to equality.
During July’s Last Sunday, an event at Tiger Lily in Vancouver, their currently showing artist, r.b.richter, with 50 paintings and drawings on display, covering a quarter century of work, will be presenting both a short talk about how he goes about creating a piece, and how the work has developed over the years.
And additionally, he’s offering you an opportunity to help move our nation forward and help Oregon catch up with it’s suddenly more progressive neighbors to the north and south.
First, he will be donating five percent of his proceeds from any artwork sold during this event to Oregon United for Marriage, and second, he is planning on having petitions on hand for you to sign to repeal Oregon’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Oregonian’s, get your asses over the river, and Washingtonian’s, here’s an opportunity to get your beaver state friends to your home ground!
“Let’s make the West Coast a solid block of respect, support and safety for all committed couples and their families!”
And, while you’re at it, you can learn a little about the life-work of one who hopes to one day make his partner more than just his long-time fiancé!
We hope to see you there.
