Call for submissions for resistance and prison gallery show

Yet another fundraiser for the rev, huh?

This May 1st, what some people like to call May Day, MKEtoRNC, a group of Milwaukee area anarchists and anti-authoritarians organizing against the upcoming Republican national Convention (RNC), will be hosting a prison and resistance theme gallery show as a fundraiser for those who were recently arrested in Milwaukee during an anti-war protest and for a general prisoner and legal defense fund to support those are currently and may also one day be entangled in and held captive by our lovely prison industrial complex.

For resistance to be a sustained project, its material and social support must become a sustained project as well.

We are calling for submissions (but not submissiveness) from thrill seeking resistance enthusiasts and prison haters around the country to donate all or some of the proceeds from the sales of their artwork in this gallery to the Milwaukee Legal Defense Fund. Please drop off submissions to the Cream City Collectives (address listed below) or mail carefully. Work is strongly encouraged to be, mounted or framed in some way and dropped off or sent by April 25th.

If you have questions please email: mketornc@yahoo.com

yeah, preferably we should be encourage all artists, especially local, to submit art to the gallery. I don't think any art has been submitted yet, so we need as much as we can get.

I'm not sure how long the gallery will be up, but they generally stay up for about a month.
