On behalf of our Arts Advisory Committee, Event Chairs, this year’s Planning Committee and the GLAAD Board of Directors we invite you to join us for our annual art event — presented by Bud Light and Deutsche Bank on Sunday, November 23, 2008. For the seventh year, GLAAD will be bringing together some of the top talent in the art world to celebrate both established and emerging new artists while recognizing GLAAD’s Top 100 Artists. We are excited to announce that we have already confirmed Alan Cumming and Edward Albee for this year’s Honorary Committee.

More than 500 art patrons, collectors, artists, celebrities and friends of GLAAD are expected to attend this unique event. This year’s live auction features work from Pablo Picasso, Herb Ritts, and Marc Chagall.

We at Out Impact are proud media sponsors!

In California: remember to vote No on Prop 8. (http://www.noonprop8.com/) We are all in this together (we have donated and urge you to do the same) and we all must be aware and fight for our rights.
