VALENTINE'S DAY CARDS FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL PATIENTS

Crewest Gallery is bringing love to the Children’s Hospital in L.A. for a Valentines Day card exchange for their patients.

We can help make their day that much brighter with a special V-Card designed by local and international artists!

We are looking for artists who would like to design/create and sign a card (or cards) for patients of the Children's Hospital.

The hospital has a total of 320 in-patient beds, we need at least that many to make it as impactful as possible.


When creating your cards please use the following guidelines:

· Refrain from any mention to patients regarding their illness or for them to get better. Stay away from any phrases such as “get well soon” or “hope you are feeling better”.

· Use an uplifting approach when trying to find the right phrase such as “Keep on Smiling” or “Hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day”, etc.

· Please do not use anything that will fall off onto the patient (such as glitter,etc).

· Do not use anything that may harm the patient.

· Keep with the Valentines Day Theme

· Include a positive message

· Sign the card

· Just as a suggestion, you may want to include your website on the back of the card.

· Be Creative, Fun and loving!

CREWEST X LA COUNTY HOLIDAY CELEBRATION

We were asked to curate a live painting and stencil event for LA County's Holiday Celebration '09 event at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Music Center in Downtown LA.

Artists, Asylm and Sherm, painted Holiday themed aerosol paintings while our other staff helped create stencil paintings for the kids and families who showed up on Christmas Eve for this annual free event.

Here's a festive time lapse video of the live painting:
(btw..the two paintings are available for purchase!)





We were happy to bring Holiday cheer to this community event!
Seems like the families who showed up enjoyed it as well, check out
