Dear MoveOn member,
Barack Obama is inspiring people to get involved with politics. To talk to
neighbors. And now, even to make great art.
MoveOn members entered over 1,200 great paintings, drawings, photographs,
sculptures, and installations in our Manifest Hope contest in partnership
with artist Shepard Fairey.
Check out the finalists in our Obama art contest--and the five winners
that are being displayed in Denver right now. They're amazing.

If you like, you can make a bid to buy one on eBay--the artists have
pledged to donate the proceeds to progressive causes and electing Obama.
And be sure to share this with your friends.
Here are a few of the featured works:
"Obama/Hope '08" by Shel Starkman of Los Angeles, CA
"Stars and Stripes" by Phil Fung of Miami, FL
"Obama Entrances The Crowd" by Ocean Clark of Hoboken, NJ
The winners were chosen by judges like Shepard Fairey, Guggenheim
contemporary art curator Nancy Spector, Denver Museum of Contemporary Art
curator Cydney Payton, and recording artists Moby, DJ Spooky, and Thurston
Moore of Sonic Youth.
Get inspired. See the rest:

Thanks for all you do.
--Peter, Karin, Laura, Ilyse and the rest of the team
P.S. For more Obama-inspired art, check out this powerful new music video
featuring Whoopi Goldberg, Joan Baez, Dave Stewart, Forest Whitaker, Macy
Gray, Herbie Hancock, Joss Stone, Cyndi Lauper, and many other great
artists--it's called "American Prayer":
