October 24th, 2009 is "350 Internatonal Day of Climate Action"

At Zinnia, we are going to be participating in a global event called , "350 International Day of Climate" http://www.350.org. Scientists say that 350 parts per million (ppm) Co2 in the atmosphere is the safe limit for humanity. In out world we live at 388.79ppm we need to get below 350ppm. On October 24, 2009 there will be an international event and we need everyone on-board.

At Zinnia, we are planning a fun event. We are going to hang 350 pieces of art on wood panels measuring 350 X 350 picas (almost 5” square). Each piece will sell for 350 pesos (about $26.00), 350 cents of each piece will be donated to support the international movement to solve the climate crisis. The unveiling will take place on Oct 24 at 3:50pm. In hopes to generate awareness and a surprise to the purchaser, we will be advertising the artists that are participating however; the artwork will remain anonymous until after the purchase. The more renowned artists that participate the more buzz we can generate.

Are you interested in participating?

Anyone interested in participating in this event please call us at 626-441-2181 and we will arrange to get you some wood panels. Zinnia will provide each artist with up to six wood panels, upon request and will pay for the shipping cost both ways. Only panels provided by Zinnia will be accepted for this event. Your artwork must be at the store by October 15th. The following formula will use for each piece sold; 350 cents will be contributed to the “350 International Climate Day” cause. The artist will make $14.76 and Zinnia will make/keep $7.96 for event costs.
