PRESS RELEASE
Scum of the Earth Church Members to host Art Exhibition and Fundraiser
to Benefit Habitat for Humanity
What: Denver CO – Members of Scum of the Earth Church will be
hosting an art exhibition at The Construct, 3519 Brighton Blvd, Denver,
CO. [mapquest it] Most art will be available for purchase during a
Silent Auction which will take place between 7 and 9 p.m. on October 2,
2004. All proceeds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity of Metro
Denver.
Who: AF double IC is an art collective consisting of Scum of the
Earth church members. AFdoubleIC stands for ‘Art Facilitating Identity
in Christ.” We are pleased to invite you to our second show this fall
entitled, “A Voice for the Voiceless, A Home for the Homeless.”
What inspired our pieces?
Our goal was to create an art show based on people’s lives and the
intriguing thoughts each person has on a variety of subjects. Each
artist conducted an interview with a person of his or her choice. The
interview asked questions ranging from ‘Where were you born?’ to ‘What
are your thoughts on death?’ By using the answer to these questions as
inspiration for their pieces, the artists gave a ‘Voice to the
Voiceless.”
How the silent action works:
The artwork for sale will have a number next to it. There will be a
price sheet with these numbers; bidders will write the price they wish
to id next to the number of the piece they are bidding on. No bids will
be accepted after 9 p.m. At 9:15 the highest bidders will be announced
for each piece. Winners do not have to be present to receive their
pieces. Arrangement will be made for the pick up of pieces after the
show.
Who receives the proceeds?
All money collected will go directly to Habitate for Humanity of Metro
Denver. For this reason, you pay for purchased artwork in cash or in the
form of a check made out to ‘Habitat for Humanity.’ Sorry; we do not
have the ability to accept credit cards.
We hope you can attend these events. Any and all support is appreciated!
