Learn about the “how” of art from one artist’s perspective while helping repeal Oregon’s ban on same-sex marriage…
On Sunday, July 28th, from 5-7 PM, I’ll be at Tiger Lily Restaurant & Bar giving a brief presentation and doing a Q & A about the creation and evolution of my work. With 50 works on display, covering nearly 3 decades, I’ve got plenty of examples to work with!
But that’s not all that’s happening! I’m raising funds (and awareness) for the repeal of Oregon’s ban on same-sex marriage in 2014– I’ll be donating 5% of the proceeds from any of my artwork sales during the event to Oregon United for Marriage. And, hopefully, depending on a current court challenge, I’ll also have petitions* on hand for Oregonians to sign as well. so Washingtonians: drag your Oregonian friends across the river! Have a cocktail together!
Beyond the actual harm inflicted by this most un-American law, based on ignorance and bigotry, it’s also just plain embarrassing! Oregon’s supposed to be the progressive state here on the west coast, and yet Washington beat us to this one! And though California’s had a rough slog, they’re ahead, too! Help fix this sorry state of affairs and make a bit of history (again): Oregon was the first place same-sex marriage licenses were issued–and revoked–and can be the first state to repeal its consitutional ban on marriage equality!
Help me make an “honest man” of my long-time “fiancè” one day!
And, while we’re at it, I hope you’ll find what I do as an artist, and how I’ve developed, interesting and informative as well.
And, lest I forget: I’ve sampled Tiger Lily’s food a couple times now, and it’s good stuff. Have dinner afterwards!
