Tommorow, Saturday 10th, The Seventh Letter / Known Gallery, Dissizit & Urb Magazine will be presenting the Tempt One Art Benefit Show at Urb’s 2800 sq. ft. Culver City Gallery space. This is perhaps one of the largest gatherings of graffiti, street and contemporary artists ever assembled in one space, with over 125 artists contributing artwork for the cause including Barry McGee (Twist), Chaz
Bojorquez , Eklips, Estevan Oriol, Futura, Grime, Haze, Kaws, Mr. Cartoon, Reas, Retna, Saber, Shepard Fairey, Slick and Stash. Every piece of art on display at the show will be available for sale via a silent auction, so this may be one of your only chances to own original artwork from some of these artists. Known Gallery also teamed up with Zune to produce 30 limited edition Tempt One Zune mp3 players and Slick to produce signed prints for the show. Full lineup, info and pictures after the jump.
From the Known Gallery website:
“In 2003, “Tempt” was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and resulting in paralysis. For the past year, Tempt has been courageously battling this disease in the hospital. Those who love and care for him are filled with the hope that he can return home to the loving care of his family. This will undoubtedly lift his spirits and strengthen his will to continue to fight this war against ALS. However, due to the seriousness of this disease he will need special medical attention, around the clock nursing and equipment to sustain him in a home environment.
In order to make this vision a reality, we are organizing an Art Show featuring some of the world’s most prolific Graffiti Artists, who have agreed to donate all of the proceeds from their work to raise funds to provide Tempt with the care he will require at home. If you would like to register to donate a piece of artwork for this event please go to: www.knowngallery.com/temptone. Unfortunately not all submissions will make this show due to limitations on space in gallery.
On behalf of Tempt, his family and his friends, we thank you for your generous support and for your love.”
