There is a little shop in my neighborhood by the name of Zinnia. If I were to sum them up, I would say they are an alternative arts and crafts store. If you’re ever in South Pasadena, definately check them out.
On October 24th, Zinnia will be selling hand crafted art to benefit 350.org (http://350.org), a non-profit whos mission is “to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis—to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for our planet.” You can read all about them in the link above.
Zinnia is planning a really cool event. We are going to hang 350 pieces of art, each on a wood panel that will be 350 X 350 picas (almost 5″ square, that Zinnia will be providing), each piece will sell for 350 pesos (about $26.00),
350 cents of each piece will go to 350 Carbon.
This event will be unveiled Oct 24th at 3:50pm. The artist of each piece will remain anonymous, but we will be advertising the artists participating in this event in hopes to generate a lot of awawareness. The artist of each piece will be revealed when the purchaser takes it off the wall. So, Zinnia is hoping to persuade artist into participating in the event by sending out up to 6 wood panels per artist, and paying for the shipping both ways. To sum it up, each piece will sell for 350 pesos ($26.22). From that amount we will send 350 cents to the 350 Carbon, then subtract .350% ($7.96), which will go to Zinnia, and then the artist will receive $14.76.
This is the art I submitted on behalf of GoGreenMachine.Org. Our $14.76 will go to the Fan Book fund.
