This Saturday’s massive “Sea No Evil”‘ charity art auction (previewed) benefits the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. For the uninitiated, the Sea Shepard Conservation Society has spent the past three decades protecting and preserving the world’s ocean life. The auction takes place at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium (near the Mission Inn). Notable contributors include Shepard Fairey, Dave Kinsey, Anthony Lister, Dave Cooper, Jeff Soto, Greg Simkins, Glen E. Friedman, Gregory Euclide, Logan Hicks, Mars-1 and Tim Biskup.
Though a drive for us living in Los Angeles, this is one event that is definitely worth the trip. If you can’t make the drive to Riverside and will be in LA this Saturday, DO NOT MISS the 9th Anniversary of Cannibal Flower. So many prominent artists rocking the scene today got their start here, it’s not even funny. There will be so many more still to come up with the constant flow of new creatives always circulating through the halls of Cannibal Flowers’ bi-monthly art parties.
Check out all the action going off around the world after the jump.
