Operating on a template similar to their wildly successful grass roots get-out-the-vote campaign during the run up to the ’08 election, ManifestEquality is a progressive public art project aimed at raising awareness about the discrepancy in social rights for the LGBT community in America.  A call for entries centered on the themes of Love, Equality, Justice, Civil Rights, Unity and Respect, has gone out across the land, and in two weeks a panel of judges including Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Vogue editor Lisa Love, Hammer Museum director Ann Philbin and artists Ed Ruscha and Shepard Fairey will convene in Los Angeles to choose 30 winners to be on display for the event which runs from March 3rd to 7th.

Be a part of this incredible event.  Manifest Equality for all.
