Standing there I blurted out about my Bravery project and what I was doing, hoping to show that we are both telling stories about people through our art. I bought her book The Dinner Party and brought it to her for a signature. When I met her I'm sure I stumbled over my words a bit when realizing what an amazing and determined person she is. Listening to her speak was very engaging and humbling. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY. After traveling all over the world, The Dinner Party now has a permanent home in the Elizabeth A. With no women studies programs and almost no information on women in history during the 60's, the artist painstakingly researched historically significant women from all over the world and brought 1035 of them back to life in her installation and in her beautifully written textbook. Each side of the triangle is 48 feet, together represents women in history who have made a significant contribution in life, but was obscured over by the by the male-dominated edits of historical texts.
I am saying it was great because I got to meet feminist and art legend, Judy Chicago.Īmong her many artworks, Judy is best known for her huge installation piece called The Dinner Party. I am not saying that because I was given the honor of twice presenting the Bravery project to students and staff members, which was a lot of fun. March is Women's History Month and Mesa Community College had a Women's Studies Conference that was really great.
Who says that typos can't be useful!Ĭheck out Joyce's beautiful and unique work: I am happy to say that Joyce has donated a piece to the silent auction/raffle and will be part of the Bravery project. It turned out to be an amazing discovery of incredible art by an amazing survivor. It's funny because she subscribed to my blog and made a typo in the subscription, so I found her website and emailed her about resubscribing. One contributing artist who works with glass and makes beautiful embellished bottles and very artsy jewelry is Joyce White. They are still in need of raffle and silent auction items, so if anyone is interested in sharing your gifts and talents, please contact me and I will forward you the information. Additionally, I will be contributing something special to the silent auction. The size and type of the original custom piece will be determined by the size of the pledge. The pledges will offer the donor an 8x10 copy of the original with the story and a custom original artwork made by the artist.
I will have several original portraits of survivors from these beneficiaries at the event, which means that there will be 8x10 copies of the originals with their stories for sale donation and pledge donations can be made on the original works. There will be live music, a raffle, silent auction, Bravery will be there, food, drinks, chair massages, goodie bags, and more. This venue is hosting an annual event called Cup O Karma, which will take place on May 2nd 5:30-9:30, to raise funds for three domestic violence organizations: Fix the Hurt, National Training and Advocacy Network/SEEDS, and Mesa Police Department CAFV.

The owners and employees are welcoming and know how to make a killer cappuccino (it made me want to drink coffee again). They have an outdoor patio and a courtyard teeming with trees, birds, and lots of relaxation. I recently went to Inside the Bungalow, which is a very charming little estate that has been converted into a way cool cafe and yoga center.
