Manifest Hope Gallery in Denver

[Christa]

Here are the 31 finalists, chosen from over 1000 pieces of art submitted to the Manifest Hope Gallery Contest by MoveOn.org members and other grassroots artists. These artists have volunteered their time and their incredible talents to help spread the word about Barack Obama and the inspirational themes of his candidacy. The five winners are on display this week at the Manifest Hope Gallery in Denver.

Art plays a pivotal role in creating cultural momentum. The Manifest Hope Gallery celebrates that role and shines a spotlight on artists across the nation who use their voices to amplify and motivate the grass roots movement surrounding the Obama Campaign. The Manifest Hope Gallery highlights the central themes of the progressive grass-roots movement- Hope Change, Progress, Unity and Patriotism.

Artists have pledged to donate the proceeds from this auction to progressive efforts aimed at helping Obama win this November.

The Manifest Hope Gallery will be open to the public in Denver, CO at the Democratic National Convention, between Monday August 25th, 2008 through Thursday, August 28th, 2008 between the hours of 10:00 am - 5:00 pm.
