Hello mission kiss artists and fans! As many of you know a good friend and important member of our community passed away this month. Josh . We’ve been hit hard by his passing. An idea is starting to germinate to have a spontaneous mission Kiss event dedicated to him. I’m open to ideas, but the theme would represent what Josh was about, generosity, kindness, family,community, color, birds, and their symbolism. Anyone game? Contact me.
Love.

Joshua Coffy is a good friend of mine, prolific artist, and a pillar of the San Francisco art community! His health has been failing in the last few years,  and despite it, he has continued to come into the studio and create art, and help raise a teenager and be a generous friend to many of us. Always ready to help with advice to artists, always ready to lend a hand, or say something sweet! He has been in a coma for over two weeks now. His partner and son are having a hard time, as you can imagine. The whole art community here is pulling together to help out thei mounting medical costs and even everyday living costs. If you can help, please do!

If you are reading this now, you likely know that this is an update about Josh C… Joen Madonna needs your support for Help for Joshua Coffy and His Family

Hello artists! Want to participate in my newest event?

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Times change; people change and "man made" institutions also require change. The first women-led revolution of our times is taking place right in front of our eyes in Iran. It is as tragic as it is inspiring. Events around the world show us that women will be at the forefront of change in the 21st century -- not only in the parts of the world where they are deprived of their basic human rights but also where hard-won basic rights are once again at stake. We at Artfuse - as a Bay area art platform - have felt the call and have decided to act on it.

In times of trouble, art and music have always proved to be among the most cathartic of human experiences. They are powerful tools for grief as well as political statements. For this reason, Artfuse has taken the initiative to show solidarity with the millions of courageous Iranians protesting since September 2022. Help us raise awareness in our community about the current situation in Iran. Let us amplify the voices of those seeking international support and create an opportunity to learn about the ancient culture of Iran through the event: Iran Unveiled.

The show Iran Unveiled will showcase artwork, music, film and also host talks. We ask all Iranian and non-Iranian Bay Area creatives for their participation in this multi-disciplinary event which aims to explore the current reality in Iran and what steps we as the US contingent of a worldwide movement can take through art and music. We invite community members to participate and/or volunteer. Submissions are open for painting, sculpture, digital media and performance. The deadline for submission is January 27th.

All around the world, millions of people- creatives or not- are making a point, a move or a piece of art to encapsulate the spirit of our times- the cry for freedom. What is your call?
