Toronto Hearts Japan

I am going to be donating a print to this charity event being held at the Gladstone that will be helping to raise funds to send to the people of Japan. Not only will this event be a way to pick up some affordable art by some very well known artists (check out the list at the bottom, it's insane!) it will also be getting some money to some people who desperately need it. Here is some of the info off of the facebook event page:

Narwhal Art Projects, Invisible-Friends and friends are excited to host Toronto Hearts Japan, a fundraiser for our far-away loves. Our hearts have been broken by news of devastated towns and people separated from their homes and families, and we want to help. This event lets all of us who feel a special connection to Japan lend a hand in our own way. All proceeds will be donated to The Red Cross and to helping rebuild the Birdo ...Flugas Artist Centre and Community in Shiogama.

Toronto Hearts Japan is an exhibition, silent auction, and two (count them!) parties at the beloved Gladstone Hotel (with DJ Paul E. Lopes and DJ Jun). Featuring works from local to international artists (and other surprises too), everybody can find a way to offer our hearts to Japan and help them soldier on.
