Online auction to benefit Public School 132 in NYC

Toe the Line

Some good stuff in this ebay auction! Writers and street artists.



www.ToeTheLineAuction.com

"Toe The Line" is an online art auction to raise funds for the PTA-funded programs at Public School 132 (P.S. 132) in Brooklyn, NY.

Toe the Line was conceived of by Brooklyn-based painter and photographer, Logan Hicks, whose son (Sailor) attends the school. The idea came Hicks while discussing yet another DOE budget cut with his girlfriend, Kristen Zarcadoolas, P.S. 132 PTA President and Sailor's mom.

"There is a lack of resources at every level within the public school system and I want to do all that I can to ensure that my son has a proper education," says Hicks. "There is a moral responsibility to do everything possible to help support public education." He decided to put out a call out to friends to see if they were willing to lend a hand by donating their artwork, prints, or books to be auctioned. "I used the resources I had to help in the best way I could." After calling on his creative friends, Hicks says, "I was thrilled by the response. Nearly everyone said they'd be happy to donate something."

100% of the profits raised will go directly to the P.S. 132 PTA which funds programs such as TADA! Youth Theater, Growing Chefs - Food Education from Field to Fork, and Bent on Learning Yoga.

Brazilian graffiti-school collaboration project needs your support

PAZ/Walls Art Zone is an independently organized event that will be crowdfunded on Kickstarter. Unfortunately the text of their Kickstarter page is not available in English, but it's being organized by local graffiti crews. One US dollar is 2 Brazilian Reals, so your international donation can make a difference fast. This is the machine translation in English and French, below.

PORTUGUESE

P.A.Z (PEACE) / Walls Art Zone is an art project with social and educational role. Consists of large frescoes painted graffiti on the walls of public schools in Rio by Brazilian artists to the students of the schools.
Peace is seen in the context of developing an artistic action carried out by federal and international artists by pupils in schools in Rio during the World Cup football in 2014.
In the view of the PEACE project in 2014, think of organizing a pilot project: a cultural event similar, though smaller, will take place during the month of June 2012 at the Pedro Ernesto Public School District, in the neighborhood of Lagoa in Rio de Janeiro.
The first event: 

• graffiti workshops for students
The workshops will be led by an artist from Rio de Janeiro during the month of June.
• Frescoes murals done by five artists from Rio
After months of workshops, the frescoes will be held during the last weekend of June in the school walls.
• The audiovisual record of the project
An audiovisual staff will follow all stages of the project, from preparation to preparation workshops of the frescoes.
PEACE 2014 is still a project. However, the pilot is ready: the artists, the school, schedule, budget required. Only lack of funding. 

Besides the opportunity to start a collaboration with artists and schools, this pilot project also allowed to create our own tools to develop the project PEACE 2014. 
Thanks for your support!
