> DESCRIPTION

Fund Raiser / Event Information: More than 1,100 newly diagnosed children are treated each year at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles for cancer. If our creativity can inspire at least one child to keep fighting cancer, our mission will be complete.

Re:Mission is a community art project that will benefit children with cancer treated at the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. For one evening only, artists worldwide will be featuring their donated works at Thinkspace Gallery in the arts district located in Silverlake. Art pieces will be sold at a discount with 100% of the proceeds supporting the cause. Proceeds from the show will support two things:

1. An art book displaying all donated work from each artist. Copies of this book will be distributed to children with cancer at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.

2. The rest of the proceeds will be donated to support the amazing Mark Taper & Johnny Mercer Artists Program at Childrens Hospital, which offers patients and their family members invaluable coping mechanisms through art, music, and poetry.

The show will also feature custom art furniture designs by Dzuy Doan in collaboration with Kofie, Jenn Porreca, Christian Morin, and Sohaila.

This is the perfect opportunity for the art community to reach beyond itself, making a clear and visible difference.

Participating Artists include:
