Painting to support Women in TV & Film

/

picture 1_lrI met a woman last week at my Gallery 117 Art Opening whom I spoke with about life dreams. Years back, her dream was to work the camera in film and television. It never panned out. Lots of reasons for this, the main one being that women were simply not given those jobs. I'm donating a painting this week to an organization called Women in Film and Television. Their mission is to support women succeeding in this industry where it has been predominantly male dominated for years now. On Wednesday October 1st, 2014 for their 25th Anniversary they will host a gala evening and fundraiser at the Fan Club 1050 Granville, Vancouver, BC. You can get  tickets at www.womeninfilm.ca  The painting I am donating is a limited edition print of Patchwork Paper iii 23 x 30" Collage on 300 pound paper (c) Deb Chaney 2009.  http://www.saatchiart.com/art-collection/Collage/Patchwork-Paper/499285/70333/view

Art donated to support women's safe house in Uganda

/

A 490715One of the cool things about being an abundantly prolific artist is that I get to donate artworks to great causes like this one: The Shanti Uganda Society. Started by a Vancouver midwife who traveled to Uganda to discover the startling sad statistic that 16 women die in childbirth each day there. She decided to open a women's safe house where they could give birth and live - hence the Shanti Uganda Society began. To raise funds for this great cause the organization is hosting their 6th annual evening of art (and food) this October 8th, 2014 at Heritage Hall ( Main/15th in Vancouver, BC). Tickets are available through www.eventbright.com. 100% of the proceeds go to the safe birth house in Uganda. For auction that night "Patchwork Paper ii" Limited Edition Print 23 x 30 (c) 2009 Deb Chaney. http://www.saatchiart.com/art/Collage-Patchwork-Paper-iii/499285/1944121/view
