The Manifest Hope Gallery, housed within Denver’s Andenken Gallery, and an additional transformed warehouse space, spans 10,000 sq. ft. and will draw together a works as varied as the voices of the artists who created them. Manifest hope will showcase some of the finest modern contemporary artists, acclaimed NY painters and sculptors, activated grass roots and street artists, and present the most widely recognized pieces seen throughout the 2008 presidential primary campaign, as well as newly commissioned works and previous works on loan from some of the United States top artists.

Manifest Hope, along with its online partner MoveOn.org, challenges the artistic world to engage their local communities in a significant and meaningful way, by inviting all artists to compete for a chance to present their works alongside these acclaimed and celebrated artists.

GoTellMama!

 

The HVW8 Art + Design Gallery is proud to host a three day showing of  GoTellMama!, an exhibition in support of Barak Obama curated by Ray Noland. More info below.

Opening Reception: Friday, August 8th, 6 – 10 pm
Show Dates: August 8th – 10th.

The GoTellMama! Officially Unofficial Show is brought to you by artist Ray Noland aka CRO. The traveling art show is part of a two year long artists run and operated independent political art campaign in support of Barack Obama. It is focused on communicating with voters in an array of contemporary grassroots methods such as a national street campaign of posters and stencil art, animated viral videos, and creative use of internet technology.

GoTellMama! was created in November 2006 while Noland was recovering from a severe bicycle crash–jaw wired shut for six weeks and mending a dislocated shoulder. The Chicago-based artist devoured Senator Barack Obama’s book, ‘Dreams from my Father’ and became consumed with the man and his story, but also the potential of his [Obama’s] window into the 2008 election.

What began as the simple production of 25, pre-ordered, limited edition ‘Dream’ screen-printed posters has grown into a collection of prints, stencil graphics, fine art pieces, animated videos, an aggressive national street campaign and a series of art exhibitions across the country.

The ambition of the GoTellMama! campaign is to heighten awareness of Barack Obama using non-traditional tactics. GoTellMama! will be exhibiting the collection of screen-printed & offset posters, stencils on canvas, and original videos dating back to 2006.

10% of show sales donated to Obama for America.
