"Buy a @bep #MinotRising T-shirt for $15-20 & help get my hometown back on their feet; while looking good! http://www.etix.com/ticket/online/venue ... ue_id=8196"

"Six-time Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum recording artists The Black Eyed Peas will hold a benefit concert on September 3, 2011, at the North Dakota State Fair Grandstand to assist the victims of the flooding that devastated Minot and surrounding North Dakota communities. All concert proceeds will go to the Minot Area Community Foundation Minot Area Recovery Fund. Josh Duhamel, a Minot native and Hollywood actor, is the honorary chairman for the Minot Area Recovery Fund, which will help Minot and the surrounding area in its long-term flood recovery needs. Duhamel is married to Fergie, the lead singer of The Black Eyed Peas.

Duhamel and Fergie have publically asked fans and celebrities to support the Minot area since the flooding began."

only few hrs left until the end of charity auction for Ben Eine's NUDE original piece (hand sprayed panel, edition of 150):

first two pieces sold for £360 & £380, which is a GREAT price for Ben Eine's original work, especially when you keep in mind that his latest print release (same edition), costs around £350-500 on the secondary market market!.. so if you were after Eine's work, this auction could be your chance to get an original @ very low price, and all for a great cause..

(Ice Queen, one of the Swoon's print you can get by donating money to the Dithyrambalina, Musical Architecture project for New Orleans)

From the salvaged remains of a decrepit Creole Cottage, the Brooklyn-based artist Swoon has re-imagined a permanent, interactive sculpture for the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. We call it the Dithyrambalina. It will look like a house, but it will function like a musical instrument.

This project is an imaginative attempt to redress the futility of this blight by finding within it vast resources of salvageable materials. By turning our salvaged construction into a music box that is free, public, and playful we are inviting the wider community to imagine and participate in a new landscape of potential and possibility.

Your support will directly benefit these artists who need time and money to develop their ideas, and in return you can get one of Swoon's prints among many other things..
