Saturday • October 3 • 10am-6pm: LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS Opens to the Public!
The quest for human rights and the search for personal fulfillment, as proposed in the 1776 American Declaration of Independence, provide the starting point for this international exhibition curated by Roger Manley (curator of AVAM's mega-popular inaugural exhibition "Tree of Life.") Works by the last surviving descendant of the Tsars of Russia, Iroquois Indians, French Revolutionaries, illegal immigrants, Algerian War veterans, Guantánamo Bay detainees, Holocaust survivors, incarcerated prisoners, African-American civil rights activists and Iraqi doctors are among the 80 visionary artists to be featured. Illustrator Renaldo Kuhler’s vast imaginary country of "Rocaterrania," Tilden Stone’s masterful "Furnitures of Secrets," and Duncan Laurie’s Purr Generator (a “happiness machine”) are among the many works that will never have been shown publicly before.
Wednesday • December 2 • 4–8PM: PATCH ADAMS WORKSHOP! to benefit AVAM
Don't Miss it - Patch Adams Love Strategy Workshop sells out all over the world! This hands-on workshop will explore how love is thoughtful action, not only emotional expression. With the world's most visionary doctor, clown, performer, and social activist at the helm, learn how to design strategies for showing and engendering "love" in professional and everyday life. A special thanks to Patch, the founder and director of the Gesundheit Institute, a holistic medical community providing free medical care to thousands since 1971, for his generosity in donating his time and spirit to raise operational funds for AVAM.
