Cartooning for Japan
FECO wants to get involved in a new -and urgent- solidarity action. The action is about Japan, and anyway everyone knows the question.
We want to organize an exhibition including artworks by FECO members or not FECO members. The works will be offered for purchase and the total income will be given to an institution responsible to help victims of the japanese disaster even if it is in a modest fashion.
Zoran Petrovic, in charge of the layout of the FECO Bulletin, suggested this idea, then you can send your works at his post address:
Zoran Petrovic
Karlstrasse 65,
76137 Karlsruhe
Germany
We ask everyone who wants to help us for one or several cartoons, preferently originals; you can send also digital cartoons, but the print out must be signed by the artist. The theme is free, but please, write your name and your address, and your e-mail address on the back of the cartoon. The exhibition will be held about the middle of April at the gallery EigenArt in Karlsruhe, Germany, where the showroom will be kindly reserved for us, free of charge. http://www.galerie-eigenart.com/
With the help of the press, we could attract the population of the area and if possible it could be spread out more (national and international).
The works (originals or signed print out) must be sent by (NEW DEADLINE: http://caricaturque.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-deadline-and-address-for-nippon.html ) May 20th 2011.
