This Series of oil on canvas art, is dedicated to the Survivors of 9/11.
"I wanted to give validation to the men, women and children who 'lived' their lives for a good part of most days, at the Twin Towers. This sacred place, forever etched in the memory of so many, should be for a blessing on all those who are left to carry on and to keep the memory of their loved ones alive forever. Amen"
~
Richard Sean Manning
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.
Each original is available through an online art gallery, in fine quality giclée prints that have the potential of raising over $400 million for worthy causes.
Any 501c3 organization can register online to participate in this innovative fundraising initiative at TheManningArts.org.
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.
Included in every purchase is a 66% charitable contribution from the supporter to the charity that originates the sale, which is instantly deposited to the PayPal account of the participating charity, at point of sale.
The Manning Arts fulfillment team ships the chosen art directly to the supporter, so all the charity has to do is get the word out. It's as simple as that!
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 pairs 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.
Richard Sean Manning has pledged to donate pairs of '9/11 Twin Towers' to museums across the country. Each pair of '9/11 Twin Towers' are one-of-a-kind creations that are designed to the specifications of the museum receiving them.
