Royal/T and ART from the ashes (http://www.artfromtheashes.org) bring together their artistic philosophy and outreach to host Support: Artists Unite for Japan, a benefit art exhibition opening on September 17th to support the recovery of Japan. The group exhibition will feature donated works by artists whose talent and generosity will aid the Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund in a benefit exhibition.
ART from the ashes is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support communities that have been devastated by natural disasters.The efforts of ART from the ashes are supported by contributing artists, sponsors and donations. all work must integrate the use of reclaimed elements and embody the theme of support. Artists are encouraged to “reclaim” their own remnants (castoffs from their own creative process) for use in creating their donated work. By utilizing materials that appear to be void of possibility, the artwork in this exhibition intends to symbolize a renewal process for Japan that inspires hope.
The opening of this event had Musical performance by Motoko Honda & Jesse Gilbert featuring ‘Spectral GL’, DeaTS: funky beats by JDILLA and live trumpet by Spencer Ludwig and DJ Snorlax.
