Artist and philanthropist Richard Sean Manning has pledged to paint 3000 original works of Unity Art as a memorial to all those who perished on 9/11. Even though this art was inspired by this tragic event, it is diverse in color and content and promotes unity through art.
"I painted this very meaningful symbol on top of a photograph of the inside of a ceramic pot that I had thrown and it looks like the 'Star of David' is a part of the eye of the universe, which for me is profound as I believe that we all come from the same source...with different paths to travel."

Each original is also available in fine quality giclée prints, through an online art gallery that has the potential of raising over $400 million for worthy causes.

Each charity is assigned a unique URL link, which they can share with their supporters, who can choose any work of art from the online gallery.

Richard Sean Manning, is also an accomplished ceramic artist who works with up to 5 tons of clay each year.
He was inspired to create a series of '9/11 Twin Towers' and to donate them to museums across the country to help open a dialogue about unity through art.
The 9/11 Memorial Museum at Ground Zero in New York City will be the next recipient of a pair of '9/11 Memorial Towers' as the centerpiece of an exhibit of 'Tribute/Response Art' that will be situated at the conclusion of the primary historical exhibition.
"The mission of this display is to allow visitors – who are probably weary from reading labels and the quantity of walking they must do in the museum galleries at bedrock - to take in the art-responses economically, without needing much context to grasp their emotional genesis. We think that the two looming Tower forms (created by Richard Sean Manning) are instantly recognizable in this regard." as stated by Jan Seidler Ramirez, Chief Curator & Director of Collections at the National September 11 Memorial Museum.
