The Center for the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG) invites you to
celebrate 18 years of using art to inspire social change at the historic
Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles.

There will be a fantastic dinner, entertainment, great company, a
dynamic poster presentation, and a unique auction of vintage posters
and original artworks.

Please join us as we honor these outstanding individuals:

- Barbara Hadsell, civil rights attorney, and Douglas Hadsell, history
professor, will receive the Culture of Liberation Award.

- Barbara Kruger, feminist artist, will receive the Art of Resistance
Award.

- Rudy Acuña, activist historian, will receive Historian of the Lions
Award.

CSPG is an educational and research archive that collects, preserves,
documents, and circulates domestic and international political posters
relating to historical and contemporary movements for social change.
With more than 60,000 domestic and international graphics, CSPG has the
largest collection of post-World War II political graphics in the
country. Through traveling and online exhibitions, presentations, and
publications, CSPG is reclaiming the power of art to inspire people to
action. Visit our website www.politicalgraphics.org to find digital
exhibitions, descriptions of traveling exhibitions, online shopping,
and more.

      Upcoming Annual pARTy AuCTION - October 13, 2007
      WE NEED YOUR HELP!

      We need volunteers in the weeks before and on the day of the
event. Before the event we need help running errands, acquiring,
organizing and mounting auction items, coordinating volunteers, and
calling CSPG supporters to support the event. On the day of the event,
we need people to set-up tables and decor, set-up the silent auction,
deliver items to Union Station, clean-up, and work various stations at
the event: the bar, guest tables, welcoming, auction, registration, and
sales.

      If you have a specific talent that might be helpful, let us know.
Our events are a lot of fun, even for the volunteers!
