Saturday night, a very special music/art event, put on by homegirl Michelle Berc:

AMP (Art.Music.Politics.) A Political Art Show with Intention



AMP is presented as an “artist as activist” event to promote free speech, progressive thought, and peace. On the eve of International Peace Day, Create:Fixate brings together leaders in the political, art and music community, activist groups, and over 40 individual artists, musicians, and DJs. As our country embarks on the upcoming presidential election we are faced with the opportunity to actively utilize the powers to choose, voice, and influence the path we will take. Since the beginning of time, artists have been at the forefront of political consciousness, reflecting and altering societal perceptions and voicing a call to action.

Participating activist groups and partners include:
The Onion, CODEPINK, Young Progressive Majority, Press for Democracy, Giveback, NextAid, and Healthcare for All.

The event will also include a group project entitled “Art Piece for Peace.” The curators have asked all participating visual artists to produce an art piece that demonstrates each artist’s individual expression of peace through their art form. Proceeds from the sales of these art pieces will be donated to VFP - Veterans For Peace. VFP is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational and humanitarian organization dedicated to the abolishment of war and is an official Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) represented at the UN. VFP supports recently returned vets, actively participates in efforts to save VA healthcare, defends veterans’ rights and champions military family rights. www.veteransforpeacela.org
