Volunteer painters needed
Event: Saturday, September 28, 2013, 3:00–8:00 pm. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is asking local artists to be part of the remembrance activity to honor loved ones lost to suicide. Please volunteer your skills and time for the Washington, DC Walk! More information in this flyer (PDF) and on the web. Details on the art project: Walkers will be encouraged to bring portraits of loved ones to the walk. Artists will then transfer these images onto large canvasses – a mural of faces of those lost. After the walk, the work of all artists will be combined into one large display, serving as backdrop for the remembrance activity. Many artists will work together to honor those lost to suicide, and support friends, family members, and colleagues suffering from mental illnesses. Please be one of them! Please reach out to Simone Poetscher at [email protected] if you are willing to support this important cause.
