SPREAD THE LOVE, THE LOVE MOVEMENT

The Super Frog Gallery in New People Building in San Francisco's Japantown is hoping to hold an art show called the Love Movement.  Japanese artists Shin and Nao sent blank vinyl toys to over 50 artists couples around to world to paint their own message of love.  The show is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC from December 11th to January 16th.  On opening night, Shin and Nao will fly in and will feature a Japanese beatboxer, a live painting by Shin, and an animation by Shin and Nao.

Love should be everywhere in our daily life. 
Because Love is invisible, and we can’t touch it or buy it, we usually pass over it. 
Modern society lacks Love due to a lack of communication. 
If I want Love from someone, and I don’t give the person Love, it’s unfair. It’s wrong just requiring Love from someone. 
If you start giving Love to people around you, Love will be everywhere, and we can live happily. 
If the world were to embrace the Love Movement, it would solve many problems we have. 
–Nao
Many creators put their Love into this exhibition. Please feel their Love. 
Giving Love will bring even bigger Love back to you. 
We can spread Love. That is the Love Movement. 
–Shin


BUT THEY NEED YOUR HELP! The event organizer is hoping to raise at least $3000 help to bring the artists to San Francisco.  The pledges come with a prize from custom digital signatures to personal mural of your and your love's name displayed in the exhibit to custom-painted, one-of-a-kind vinyl toy.

============================

I somehow feel very strongly about this and want to support it very much, even though I have not heard about these artists until now.  I, myself, may even pledge $50 to support this event (and to get a cool Tshirt).  But for sure I'll find my way to opening night, because it's always fun and a good opportunity to meet the artists and see them in action.
