*Art inspired by or created for the Occupy Eugene movement*

Friday, Sept. 7th, 5:30-8 pm at Outpost A, 1191 Lawrence St., Eugene

Come and see some revolutionary art created the OE community, hear great live music, socialize and see what Occupy Eugene is up to currently. Featuring paintings, sculpture, photography and mixed media. Refreshments will be served.

Call for entries:

Art can be dropped off at 1191 Lawrence St. on  Thursday, September 6th, 5-8 pm or on Friday, September 7th, 10 am to 3 pm.

You will need a way to hook the art to the picket fence in front of the house or some type of self standing device such as an easel. The wire on the back of the frame should work. If wanted, tags will need to made by the artist with the name of the piece, the artist’s name, medium, price, etc., and you can donate part or all of the sale to OE.

The art will be stored on the porch and can be picked up after the event or on Saturday, Sept. 8.

The Occupation at 1191 Lawrence Street is a statement against the foreclosure crisis plaguing the country that is at the heart of the Great Recession and the big banks’ continuing criminal role in the crisis.
