Paying It Backwards & Forwards... aka "Java Love"
Dec 24 2008 06:19 PM
While we’re in the midst of raising money for a great cause, I thought we might take a break on Christmas Eve and remember what we’re up to with this project... and how even the most negative of situations can be turned into something positive.
This struck me as relevant to what ARTvision is about, and particularly what we try to focus on as we close 2008.
Take a look at the below story, but make sure to read Arthur Rosenfeld’s piece in the Huffington Post before you do. It’s a truly remarkable feat of seeing through and above a negative everyday situation for... a greater truth.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

World AIDS Day: Making A 'Positive Impact' With Broad-based HIV Prevention And Counseling
Dec 01 2008 09:07 AM
(ATLANTA :: 1 Dec. 2008) - With the world's attention culminating again today, Dec. 1, each year we get a little closer to understanding how HIV and AIDS affects Atlanta, the country and the rest of the world.On the 20th annual World AIDS Day, I'm happy to announce the official launch of ARTvision's Web site... our third year of bringing together artists and buyers in the name of charity. We have a record number of donating artists this year and have already sold our first piece - with hopefully more to follow!
Positive Impact is our beneficiary. Get to know them... We embark on ARTvision's month-long fundraising drive for a reason - PI is in very real need of funds to sustain their HIV prevention programs and to help offset leasing costs and the economic downturn. A wide range of price points - from $25 to $800 - means you have lots of opportunities to help PI make a good chunk of change. (browse now)
So, an ARTvision purchase is a direct and unfettered statement of support for PI's broad-based prevention and treatment services, which are now coming from a more macro perspective, expanded from a sex-behavior theory to a total lifestyle ideology.
ARTvision is the perfect chance to lock in a last-minute tax deduction, support a great organization and receive some snazzy artwork in the process.
Watch the site this week as we load more artists. Let's make some cash! - WP
