Friends of Friends Photography Auction December 7

 

During a series of photography trips to Cambodia's Angkor Wat monuments, internationally acclaimed photographer Kenro Izu was deeply affected by his encounters with often ill, malnournished, and disfigured children. As a symbol of his gratitude for the profound artistic inspiration he received from Cambodia's historical treasures, Izu committed himself to building a pediatric hospital to provide desperately needed healthcare for its children...its future.

Friends Without A Border (Friends), a non-profit organization, was founded by Izu in 1996 to manage the project. With the help of an international board of healthcare professionals, the art community, and over 5,000 supporters worldwide, Friends opened Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) in 1999.

ABG's own Wendy Sacks has a print as part of this prestigious auction, and her piece will be part of the silent auction collection. See:

Corn Hill Holiday Tour of Homes

We Keep Adding Tickets,
and Still They're in Short Supply

So this will be your last shot at tickets to the Corn Hill Holiday Tour of Homes. We've been through a round of adding tickets to try and assuage demand, and it's not worked well at all. You folks still keep buying them! Follow this link to snag yours. This year's series of tours promises homes not seen in previous years, an expanded tour complete with appropriate holiday refreshments, and some of the most beautiful houses you're likely to see this season, all in the oldest residential area in Rochester.

Art For Peace

Greetings,

I am passing along this information even though, as you read on, you will see that it is not current.  It has come to my attention that the project is ongoing, and artists throughout the world are invited to participate. In fact, the “black box” containing the instructions has arrived in Rochester.  If it is of interest to the group, I can arrange to have it presented at a Tuesday morning meeting.

It is my understanding that there is no financial requirement to participate.  When your project is finished, the box is sent on to another artist.

The goal is to have participation in every nation in the world. I am seriously considering doing one myself. I do not have all the answers, but the box comes with an explanatory CD. If anyone, or the group, is interested I can be reached at:

The Missing Peace: Artists Consider The Dalai Lama: is an international art exhibition and educational project celebrating and exploring the many paths of peace.

Eighty-eight artists from thirty countries  are contributing new and disarming works of art to the Missing Peace.

Inspired by the Dalai Lama, the artworks present diverse “portraits” of human capacities for compassion , non-violence, empathy, patience, courage, restraint, and  responsibility.

“We must make this new century a century of peace and dialogue.” – the Dalai Lama

The Missing Peace will touch millions and give people the opportunity to think about, talk about, experience, and create peace.

The multi-year journey of the exhibition opened at UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, Los Angeles, in June, 2006. Next stops include: The Loyola University Museum of Art  (LUMA) in Chicago, October 28-January 15, 2007 and the Rubin Museum of Arts (RMA)  and school of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City, March 3-September 4, 2007. The tour is expected to go to more than ten major cities of the world.

The K -12 Missing Peace curricula will engage school children around the world in discussions about peace and ethics.

The Missing Peace is a collaborative project of the Committee of 100 For Tibet and the Dalai Lama Foundation.  If you are interested in purchasing a work of art from The Missing Peace to support the journey, please contact:
