Hi everyone,
In this week's installment of news and notes from UnBeige, one story in particular stood out to me, posted yesterday on UnBeige. This past Saturday, Lance led a group of about 700 cyclists through Hollywood to launch a new program called "Stages," a "global art exhibition, sponsored by Nike, that will support the Lance Armstrong Foundation and its LIVESTRONG campaign. The project has commissioned 22 artists and designers to create original works of art for the exhibition, which the foundation says will be inspired by Armstrong and his work for cancer awareness. The work will go on display for the first time in Paris on July 16, then go on sale with proceeds benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The exhibition will also travel to three U.S. cities after Paris as well: New York, Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon. Now an interesting part of all of this is that one of those commissioned artists is Shepard Fairey. Yes, he's in the news again. But this time its for a mural he made for the project. Click here to read the article and see the mural. (I'm not sure if I have the rights to re-post that picture, unfortunately.)
