Invitation to be a part of an online Collaborative Art Project!

I would like all of my blog friends to send me a digital video (no longer than 30 secs) of something that is meaningful to them or a piece of their own artwork for an online collaborative art piece. The 30 seconds must be unedited. Something shot for a total of 30 seconds. Everyone involved will be emailed the final video by the end of August 2011. Please msg it to me thru email: artist@luhanna.com before July 25th, 2011, and remember to include your name and your email, so I can send you a copy. Thank you!

Drawbridge: An Arts Program for Homeless Kids

This is an organization that I truly believe in. I have worked for them in the past and they inspire me to be involved with this as a way to encourage kids to creatively express every emotion they feel for healing and helping them to overcome the obstacles in life.

Happy Birthday Mia (Aug 25th)!

Article by Hannah Levin, from 2008

Back in 1992, I was lucky enough to capture one of Mia's powerful performances on the stage of The Colourbox, in Seattle WA. Mia gave me a gift that night that has connected me with some of the most amazing artists, women and men, in film, music, and writing. Over the years, she has given countless gifts to all who have come to know her through The Gits, (now defunct) Home Alive organization, her many friends and fans, the film, and (of course!) her music/voice and family. Although she was taken from us, her voice will never be silenced! Happy Birthday, Mia! -Lucy Hanna

Women are my heroes.

I think we should borrow from this and bring the face of strength to our cities. The strength of women.
