Thanks for being a part of the show!!!

ForceFields was super fun-
Over 100 people showed up to see over 50 pieces by more than 30 artists.
In three hours we raised a little over $1500 for Against Malaria, equalling 300 LLIN malaria nets for people in Africa!!! Thank you everyone for making Force Fields happen!

FORCE FIELDS Art Exhibit

WHAT?
FORCE FIELDS will be a visual exhibit exploring the subjects of protection, sanctuary and fortification.

This exhibit will raise money through admission ($5, the price of one net) and art sales, to get more nets to more people to stomp out malaria in Africa.

We're working with a group called AGAINST MALARIA.

We're calling on all artsy folk to pick up your pencils, brushes, crochet needles, etc... to create a visual interpretation of a FORCE FIELD.
