Attention art lovers in Los Angeles--you have from now until March 7th to stand up for the civil rights of your gay friends/family/lovers.  All you have to do is make your way to 1341 Vine St, just south of Amoeba and the Arclight in Hollywood. 

Only days ago you would have found a former Big Lots stripped to bones and a trash-filled parking lot at this address. Now, you'll find the manifestation of a meteoric grassroots movement dedicated to establishing full and equal rights for all people. 

Manifest Equality describes itself as a "visual call to action, with hundreds of artists motivating public energy toward true reform on a local, state and national level."  A nationwide art contest entreated artists to submit work under the themes of Equality, Justice, Respect, Unity, Civil Rights, and Love.  

The contest attracted some of the most influential contemporary artists in the world today, all of whom came together to fill the space with energetic and powerfully personal works evoking not only the fundamental injustice of the subordination of homosexuals in modern society (eg. Prop 8), but the potential we all have to create, gather, and stand up together against these injustices.

Funds raised from auctioning these works goes to organizations across the board supporting the pursuit of legal reform ensuring the equal rights of gays and all people.

Stand up for love!
