&ldquo;You don't have to feel like a waste of space<br>


...The message of the song and the video is to try and be exceptional, even amidst the most dire circumstances.


Even some of the most successful, the most outwardly vibrant folks among us, don&rsquo;t know how to seize their joy and own it.   So, this song - as well as this event - stands to remind its artists, PI staff and volunteers, as well as PI&rsquo;s clients that they are unique and treasured in their own way.

Writing in the HuffPo, author Joe Robinson talks about how &ldquo;life intelligence&rdquo; helps us live a more fulfilling - and as a result, a healthier - life. 


&ldquo;A study of choral singers done by Cal State Irvine illustrates just how powerful putting it all out there can be.   When the singers in the Pacific Chorale did rehearsals, researchers Robert Beck and Thomas Cesario found that a protein essential to fighting disease, immunoglobulin A, increased 150 percent. ...  Hum along in self-consciousness or boredom and you don't get the benefit the comes when you let it fly.   This is such a great metaphor for the role passion plays in unleashing an extraordinary life.&rdquo;


A shout out to everyone involved with PI, and ARTvision artists and donors, who each year &ldquo;let it fly&rdquo; for a great cause.

...- Artist Marc Tetro, an award-winning artist, author and illustrator whose whimsical, pop-art animals are collected by people around the world.   He&rsquo;s been commissioned by organizations such as The World Wildlife Fund and the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research, and is represented by The Walt Disney Co. as a licensing agent - the first living artist to have that honor.


- Greg Masterson, a local Atlanta photographer who shares &ldquo;I-75 Southbound&rdquo; - an abstract work of photography of our &ldquo;treasured&rdquo; local highway. 

...- Andrea Ozzuna, owner of Caf&eacute; Buenos Aires in Oakland, Calif., brings us a chance to buy the most spectacularly delicious Argentinean cookies - aka &ldquo;alfajores&rdquo; - you&rsquo;ll ever taste.   One of the three boxes has already been purchased; two remain for a donation of $30 each, with more available depending on demand.

...<img border="2" align="right" src="http://willpollock.smugmug.com/Events/artvisionatlanta/will-pollock/DSC2389/1121349246_HY2FF-S.jpg" Hspace="20" Vspace="10">Here&rsquo;s another shade to add to 2010&rsquo;s dark side: the spate of youth suicides this year within the gay and lesbian community. 


...&ldquo;The Carefully Orchestrated Revival of Joy and Hope,&rdquo; one of my pieces for ARTvision-5 this year, was created as a message to persuade those who might choose to bully, to invade privacy, to deny rights, or just simply be an asshole to stand down and rethink their actions. ...  People are not &ldquo;haters&rdquo; because they disagree with something you&rsquo;re doing or saying; in the same way, someone isn&rsquo;t likely to incite violence just because they own a gun.


...While Jason&rsquo;s orchestra was rehearsing for Westobou Festival, I listened to the gorgeous acoustics of the church and photographed a stained-glass window to capture the emergent glow behind the beautiful colors - and its understated illumination spoke volumes. 

...Some politicians and pundits proudly say &ldquo;tolerance&rdquo; is part of how they deal with differences as if it were badge of honor, and that&rsquo;s a whole steaming pile of horseshit. 

...Young men like Tyler Clementi, the promising musician and student at Rutgers, could have used that sort of understanding, that type of care with actions and words, but he didn&rsquo;t get it.   So, this piece is dedicated to him and other gay youth who should know and have been reminded this year that life does, in fact, get better when you take the time to live and speak with dignity and understanding.

...We have some recent signs that the work is paying off: According to a report in the Los Angeles Times on statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more folks are getting tested:


...So we once again mark World AIDS Day with the launch of &ldquo;XL: Style & Substance,&rdquo; ARTvision&rsquo;s fifth anniversary year, as a renewed call for greater awareness, testing, counseling and remembrance of those who have lost their lives to this terrible disease. 

...And while all of our artists do their important part - we&rsquo;re going to number around 15-20 strong this year - I want to cite one artist in particular, Julia Murney, who has been volunteering her time, talent and effort for the better part of two decades singing, dancing and cracking jokes through Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and other organizations to raise funds.
