From Clean Water Action

As if I wasn't already excited enough about this Friday's 13th Annual Clean Water Action Party on Boathouse Row, we have something new on offer this year. Environmentally inspired artwork. I have to confess, I'm blown away by what's been offered.

I met Dave Holley at InLiquid's Art for the Cash Poor this summer and started talking to him about the work of Clean Water. He got really excited, so when I told him that I was looking to spotlight an artist's work as it relates to water, he said he was in.

I had no idea what impressive work I was in for.

Dave got to work and became inspired by Hiroshige's famous "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa." Using a method that very much squares with the type of issues Clean Water espouses, he found a used sail to work on and began applying recycled magazine and other images to it, using the colors in what he found and painting over the top. Creating this amazing painting/sculpture that will debut this Friday at the Annual Auction. So you should come. You should see the whole piece. The image above is just a detail. You know you want to see it all at once. So RSVP now.

More details about the event in the jump!

Not only that, but you'll get a chance to buy round trip airline tickets, a stay at a beautiful resort in Cabo San Lucas, great prices on local restaurants, theaters, eco beauty products and much more. That's all in our live and silent auction. There's more art there, too. Green work by Chen Reichert, Beth Brandon, April Torres, Jill Bliss and lots of underground comics from Ad House Books and Top Shelf.

Nevermind the open bar featuring Yellow + Blue Wine and gourmet buffet. Okay, now you're convinced. So what are you waiting for? RSVP!
