For his project in the Landmark Education SELP program, David Tait is holding a fundraiser titled ‘Horn of Plenty’, which will benefit the Canadian Red Cross in its efforts to help famine victims in East Africa. Taking place at 7pm on Thursday, November 24th, at the Croation Cultural Center at 3250 Commercial Drive in Vancouver, the event is featuring a silent art auction, original poetry, a variety of musicians and refreshments and a cash bar.
According to an article in Tidbits of Vancouver, the magnitude of the famine in Africa led to Tait creating this particular project:
“I considered volunteering on community projects that could use some carpentry skills, but then a piece on CBC radio about the drought and famine in the Horn of Africa caught my attention. The Red Cross estimates up to 13 million people will be affected by this event, causing famine and suffering on a massive scale”, Tait said. “This is turning into the largest humanitarian disaster our generation has seen.”

Brianna Minniti didn’t have to think long about what project to create in Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Program – her love of the ocean made a cleanup of the beach in her home of Long Beach an easy choice. Minnitti, who married her husband on the beach near Belmont Pier eight years ago, is working with her husband to put on the event this Saturday, October 29, from 10am – 1pm, starting at the pier.
The project, named ‘Love the Beach’, is being supported by the California Coastal Commission’s Adopt-a-Beach program, which is providing gloves, trash receptacles and free parking for the event. For additional information, or to sign up as a sponsor, call Minniti at 276-3088, or email her at brianna2hot@gmail.com. Read more at The Long Beach Gazette.
A distinctive project created in Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Program has appeared on Youtube – YouCube Art, wherein 108 artists created ‘cubes’ of sculpture art that represent their lives. The cubes were exhibited on September 17th at the Saanich Arts Centre in Victoria, British Columbia.
Each piece of artwork was supposed to give a self portrait, and answer questions about what stops and what inspires the artist, what their biggest positive and negative influences have been, and what their biggest dream is for their own self or for the world.
