Urban art and activism meet global humanitarianism as Limbo Fine Art Gallery hosts The Love Movement (TLM) and other prominent street/surf artists in a show entitled The World at Large / / Love Without Borders to benefit the International Humanity Foundation (IHF).

The Love Movement’s works combine political messages angled to wake up one’s conscience with a philosophy of “love is the way”. And they actually get down to do the hard work of producing art for humanitarian projects and raising funds through art shows and T-shirt sales to purchase school supplies and to build a community well in a village in Benin, Africa.

This time, TLM has joined forces with IHF for the education and empowerment of kids abroad, demonstrating that art combined with social consciousness has limitless possibilities. The World at Large /// Love Without Borders will showcase an amazing lineup of internationally-shown artists: Michael De Feo, Wolfgang Bloch, Alex Knost, Tyler Warren, Ben Brough – 33, Andrew Sarnecki - Hippytree, Hovin Wang, Paul Lefevre – Polish, Micke Tong, Thundercut, Abe Lincoln Jr., eight-year-old Reece V., Meredith Ambruso, Guy Quezada, Jon Ho, Karen Jones, TLM, as well as TRACE’s own Lichiban (yours truly) and Jelsen Jargon, who recently shined on our blog.

The opening reception of The World at Large / / Love Without Borders is Saturday, May 17, 2008, from 7pm to 12am at Limbo Fine Art Gallery, 1432 University Avenue, San Diego. All proceeds to benefit IHF. The show runs from May 10 to June 1, and is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays. Interested parties can contact Limbo at 619.316.2239 to arrange a private viewing.
