My aunt in San Francisco runs the non-profit Health Through Art (HTA) program. By putting community created artwork in public spaces, HTA works to counteract substance abuse, racism, violence, and stereotyping. HTA has been offered a 5% commission on the sale of a limited edition serigraph of Barack Obama, if it is sold through one of their contacts (which would include me ;-) ). The serigraph is by Chaz Guest. The following is from Chaz’ representative in San Francisco:

Chaz first met President Obama when the then Senator Obama selected a portrait of Thurgood Marshall done by Chaz for his Capitol Hill office. Subsequently, Chaz was invited to be the emissary for President Obama to present one of the serigraphs in this series to the Mayor of Obama City, Japan just last month.

The serigraph is $3000 + tax, unframed. Framed price is $3400 + tax: floated, mounted on archival mat, low profile black frame.

The edition size is 200. Currently, I have two – one of which is being framed for display at MoAD

Please contact me if you’re interested, and I’ll pass your message along.

It’s nice to see in the video that Chaz has learned at least one vital Japanese word: “oishii” (delicious).
