October 6-27, 2006 Partisan Project 2006 Various Artists Partisan Project features the work of designers and artists using their time and talent to help bring about political change. Many see Pennsylvaniafs senate race as the most important in this Novembers election. And Partisan Project, as they did in 2004, has chosen a side. They firmly believe that a vote for Rick Santorum is far worse than no vote at all. With this in mind, twelve designers created posters that are currently being distributed in packs across Pennsylvania. Opening Reception: Friday, October 6, 7pm-11pm Closing Reception: Friday, October 27, 7pm-11pm Other: By Appointment (more info...) Additional Events: Wednesday, October 18th: Open Dialogue on Anti-Arab and Anti-Muslim Messages in the Media Tuesday, October 24th: Progress Pittsburgh Pre-Election Bonanza |
