2010 After Hours Exhibit
Visual Arts Specialists District-Wide are invited to participate in the 13th Annual After Hours Exhibition. This exhibition will take place from March 3 - March 31, 2010 at the Sandra and Philip Gordon Gallery, Boston Arts Academy, 174 Ipswich Street Boston, MA 02215.
The Fundred Dollar Bill Project is a nationwide innovative artwork made of millions of drawings by schoolchildren across the country. The goal of the FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT is the creation and collection of 3 million of these artworks by students across the United States to raise awareness and funding to heal the environmental impact of lead pollution in New Orleans that is putting thousands of children at risk for severe learning disabilities and behavioral problems. The “artworks” created by your students will be collected by a specially retrofitted armored truck and delivered to Washington D.C. where an even exchange of the value of their art currency for actual funds will be requested to support the implementation of a citywide lead-safe solution. THE FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT is a method for your students to have a meaningful hand in a coordinated national project. The FUNDRED goal is to raise awareness, support, and $300 million, the estimated cost for this environmental recovery of New Orleans. Once New Orleans is made lead safe, via OPERATION PAYDIRT and FUNDRED, New Orleans can become a model for other cities with similar post-industrial legacies. Please read more about FUNDRED and OPERATION PAYDIRT at http://www.fundred.org. Please contact the New England coordinator of FUNDRED for more information, assistance or with questions: louisa@artistsincontext.org. See lesson plan here...
