Get Mitch to London!
The Quinlan Visual Arts Center supports artist fundraising initiative to
“Get Mitch to London!”
For one night only, Friday, November 20th from 6-8 PM, Quinlan artist Mitch Freeman will be showing his art work at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center, raising awareness (and patronage) for his goal to participate in Elephant Parade London, 2010.
Freeman is one of only 200 specially chosen international artists, a eclectic collection of creative talent,who will take part in what has been billed as London’s biggest outdoor art event on record. On view from May through July 2010, Elephant Parade London will see a herd of 200 fibreglass elephants descend on the parks, streets and squares of the capital. The unique sculptures will then be auctioned in the summer of 2010 by Sotheby’s, with all funds raised going towards conservation projects across Asia.

In the last one hundred years, Asian elephant populations have plummeted from 200,000 to circa 30,000 with 66% of those losses occurring in the last ten years. Elephant Parade London aims to channel funds into buying strategic habitat, which is the only real way to save this species from extinction. www.elephantfamily.org

I have been selected and confirmed as an Artist for the Elephant Parade London 2010!  This event is to raise money and awareness of the Asian Elephant, and it’s current downfall.  There are as many as 350 Asian Elephants dying each week, mostly through human-elephant conflict. This event in London is designed to help educate people about how important this species is, promote and provide sanctuaries for the Elephant population to continue to exist and thrive.

Last year the Elephant Parade was in Amsterdam, and was a huge hit!  Elephant Family is the organization which is behind this movement to raise international help and educate the world on how this species is vital to all of us!  The Exhibit will be London’s largest art show, and will run from May 2010 through July 2010.  At the end of the exhibit each elephant will be auctioned at Sotheby’s Auction House in London!  This International Art Exhibit is my largest and most important art accomplishment!
