October_Domestic Violence Awareness Month

“With October approaching, domestic violence advocates across the nation are preparing for the 22nd annual observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Whether you are a professional in the field of domestic violence or someone who is new to the cause, we hope you will take a few moments during October to consider the issue and remember those whose lives are affected by it.

Beginning as a Day of Unity observation in October 1981, the observance grew into the first domestic violence awareness month in October 1987. The current year’s observance is especially hopeful due to the appointment of Lynn Rosenthal as the first-ever White House advisor on violence against women. This appointment marks the changing attitude from domestic violence as a silent epidemic to a societal issue for which everyone shares a responsibility.

Programs across the nation will focus their efforts on celebrating the strength and courage of those who have been affected by domestic violence and hosting educational programs to raise public awareness of the issue.”

The following is a blurb from the book.

“Drawing Inspiration offers new and thought-provoking insights into the world of drawing and illustration at its best. With a fresh take on topics ranging from how an artist develops creative concepts to the mechanics of line, color, and value, Drawing Inspiration draws together the words and work of some 200 illustrators from around the globe to inspire tomorrow’s visual artists today. Michael Fleishman has been drawing inspiration as a teacher, writer, and visual artist for more years than he can remember. The 188 artists whose work is featured in Drawing Inspiration have graciously agreed to forego permissions fees in order to join author Michael Fleishman and Delmar Cengage Learning in making donations in support of the visual arts to a variety of charitable organizations, including the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Fund and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.”

This piece will be auctioned off to benefit breast cancer awareness.
Anthony Freda recently donated the original painting.
www.hintmint and Avon are joining forces for the cause.
