Wonder Woman Day
Hey guys,
This is a charity event that I have been wanting to help promote since last year. Andy Mangels founded it, as a means to spread awareness of Domestic Violence related issues, and to help raise funds for those in need. I am trying to help spread the word in time for October, so in Andy's own words...
Wonder Woman Day IV Call For Artists!
In October 2006, 2007, and 2008 Wonder Woman Day I-III have raised over $69,000 for Domestic Violence Shelters and Crisis Lines in Portland, Oregon and Flemington, NJ. The three-year combination of auctions of over 400 original art pieces, plus collectibles, autograph signings, and photo opportunities has meant a spectacular turnout… over $69,000 TOTAL ... and two Mayoral Proclamations!
On October 25, 2009, Wonder Woman Day IV - again as a part of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month - will take place, returning to Excalibur Books in Portland, Oregon, and Comic Fusion in Flemington, New Jersey! Additionally, in Portland, the prestigious Lara Sydney Gallery in the Pearl District will host a month-long special exhibit of hand-chosen and framed art from Wonder Woman Day!
There will be multiple Domestic Violence Shelters and Crisis Line charities benefiting from the events. All donations will receive a receipt from the charity for tax purposes.
We know that the economy has hit hard, and that things are rough for most of us. If you have the ability to help with your talent, we hope you will.
Will YOU contribute a piece of Wonder-Woman-themed artwork?
Or even two pieces (one for each event)?
If you can do an art piece for the event, please let me know ASAP, so that I can put your name on the poster and in pre-publicity.
Deadlines:
To be considered for the Oregon Gallery showing: art must be received by September 15
To be in the on-site art auction in Portland or NJ: art must be received by September 30
We need time to publicize this online (bidding will take place online and at the gallery, pre-event). There ARE a few guidelines, which I will send once you confirm.
If you want to see what others have done in the last two years, go here:

There were some great color and b/w pieces, some cover recreations, some cartoony, some dramatic…
Thanks for reading, and I hope to have you participate as a part of this Wonderful day!
Best,
