I was astonished from an article in the Wall Street Journal last week regarding the conviction rate of domestic violence offenders in San Francisco.  Over 20,000 reports of domestic violence and less than 2 dozen convictions.  It’s only through education that we will be able to stem the violence against women & girls.

V-Day “A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant & A Prayer” at Pelican Art Gallery Friday & Saturday, February 17th & 18th.

Vagina Monologues will be held on March 1st, 2nd & 3rd.  All performances start at 7pm.

This cute little character is the newest of Stanley’s creations.  Having gotten so much positive feedback on Swoopy, Stanley intends to develop a series of paintings of this irresistible creature.  Collectors should be quick to add this painting to your collection because it’s the first of the series!

It was incredibly interesting and very timely as much of her presentation was about art.

Yesterday, we had a successful event at the Gallery benefiting the AIDS Life Cycle Ride and the Pelican Art Foundation.  Our thanks to the hard work of all the volunteers to present such a fun and successful event.

This year’s spotlight monologue, featured in V-Day Petaluma’s “A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant & A Prayer” and “The Vagina Monologues” productions, will be coming from Eve Ensler’s February 9 book release, “I Am An Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World.”

Poster for Heartbeat for Haiti on 2/13/2010

Stanley Mouse created this poster to assist Grateful Dead drummer Micky Hart with his fundraiser on 2/13/2010 called Heartbeat for Haiti.  At the Gallery the same night we raised $150 towards the cause.

As part of our current group show of our Masters of Today, Stanley provided the original painting that inspired the poster.  You can stop by the Gallery to see both the original painting and the signed poster.  It’s really amazing how much artwork Stanley donates to this type of fundraising.  We’re proud to represent such a wonderful artist.
