A heartfelt & warmest regards & appreciation to all the participating artists. Thank you.

Thank you, Margaret Garcia for this lovely idea, passion, and words. Casa 0101, the venue for “Prayers” springboard into the world, we thank you as well. We hope that we will receive help in spreading the word of this event and idea and we thank anyone who will do so in advance. Thank you! Thank you for everyone who will participate and be involved,

Events & Chosen Benefits:

This and future festivities are completely not-for-profit events wishing only to bring all local communities together worldwide, beginning where we are from, East Los Angeles to greater LA areas, to share our voices with each other, our "Prayers", our wishes, concerns, hopes, and dreams for our world today. In this way, bringing us all closer together and giving to our collective cultivation of positivism and healing, of good will and intention...

We aim to hold every Prayers Event in benefit to a good cause. Some place and point in the community that could use the fundraising to a greater effect, able to reach many and do a lot for their people.

For our very first Prayers Event, the benefit of choice is Casa0101. Here, we will also launch our "Prayers" concept and movement into the world...

The Event and proceeding publication will be called "Prayers: from Los Angeles"
Each event will have a proceeding associated publication and we airm to one day have a Prayers Event Book/ Catalog from every place in the world that participates. Any book sales per annum will be distributed to benefit 3 chosen causes, always inluding the book event's chosen cause. 10% will go to help fund Prayers' Art and Music Events.

All money from the benefit entry/concert donations will go to benefit Casa0101. Minimum of 50%(plus) of Art Benefit Sale proceeds will go to benefit. Same for anything we vend during this event, Saturday, December 5th. (DONATE TO CASA0101)

We are donations based and accept various forms of donation and effort. Artists' donations are encouraged. We request that local artists who choose to be involved in some way but whom for instance can't participate, to please, still donate any art pieces you would like us to help move for you in benefit of the chosen good cause. (Small - small/medium works, being mindful of space and inclusion) In these events, we support local artists within their communities. The public also may many times get very rare opportunities to access and acquire artwork not normally available or accessible.

Vendors are welcome! Speak to us to see about vending opportunities in benefit.

We encourage folks who come out, please bring anything you would like to donate to the actual event. For instance, good drinks and snacks won't be refused!

In summary, one can think of the Benefit Events in 4 parts:
1) Inclusive Community Prayers Exhibit - community comes out & hangs up the art, but does not sell it. (We catalog it & folks can choose to take their miniature art pieces back home)
2) Special Exhibition: Includes works from Margaret & the 6 other artists + Stamp Project. All these works will be on sale at minimum of 50/50 to Casa0101 & to the artists. We will also have other artwork, art prints, posters, etc for sale during the full day & this may include many other artists who have decided to contribute to the Art Benefit Sale that day.
3) Special Benefit Concert: This gets the event inclusive in terms of an art sharing day, plus, a way to pull in more folks & fun who may also come for the art & the art/merch sales & whatever else we are vending in benefit. Admission will be FREE & Donations based. With an encouraged minimum of $5-$20+ for entry which INCLUDES entry to watch the benefit concert & performance art portion of the program of events this day.
4) The proceeding book/catalog of the event: This will include EVERYONE involved in the event & all the art pieces hung. Plus, info about all those involved including the chosen benefit of Casa0101. The idea of what will happen with any sales that follow is to donate to the chosen benefit, plus 3 other local causes per annum of profits 80%-90% while taking remainder to fund printing other future books from our next Prayers Benefit Art & Music Day event.

Thank you everyone for your support!

We aim to give back to those who participate & put on a special day for everyone!

Thank you for your support,
