‘Water Works’ opens THIS SAT, March 19th @ Giant Robot 2. This special exhibition was originally put together as a show to raises awareness for Unicef’s efforts to provide clean drinking water to children in developing nations around the world. In light of the devastating disaster currently facing those in Japan, the show has expanded into a fundraiser to support Unicef’s emergency assistance for Japan’s children. All donations (up to $10,000) from the event will be matched by interTrend Communications. Please be sure to come out and support this and the special event at Japan LA this Saturday!!!
In addition to proceeds from the sale of artwork, Giant Robot will donate the following to UNICEF:
1. Proceeds from the sale of water bottles featuring labels created by artists and signed by celebrities.
2. Fifty percent of proceeds from Giant Robot’s small restaurant, gr/eats, on Saturday, March 19.
