Hi! Cindy Quandt-Guerra, Dr. Vicki Millican and I (Karen Blessen) are asking for your generosity to help our friend Pamela Flores in a time of medical and housing emergency. Once in the 29 Pieces family, always in the 29 Pieces family. Pamela was on the 29 Pieces teams who worked on the Dallas LOVE Project and the Piece 24 Project. If you were one of the ten thousand artists who contributed art to the Dallas LOVE Project, Pamela’s sensitive hands most likely handled your art. She sorted through all the art to repair any that had pieces falling off or needed a little loving touch of repair. Without Pamela’s dedication to the LOVE Project, the art would not have withstood its lengthy public display. Pamela is an artist in her own right whose talents include ceramics, collage art, painting, and graphic design. Now Pamela desperately needs our loving touch and financial support. Pamela is fighting Stage 3 bladder cancer. She’s been through several major surgeries, had her bladder removed and is soon beginning chemotherapy. Pamela is a single mom of three and grandmother to one. She has worked as a free-lancer for most of her working life. Cancer wiped away any sense of financial security that Pamela had, along with the energy and stamina to continue work in any way, shape or form. The three of us are helping Pamela to regain a measure of stability so that she has six months of expenses covered and can focus on her treatment and getting well. Pamela needs $25,000 in our help for rent, utilities, food, and transportation to and from Parkland Hospital for cancer treatment. She does not have and cannot afford a car at this time. For every gift of $100 or more, we will send you an 8 x 10 print of the ice-skating angel that Karen originally did for Neiman Marcus nearly 30 years ago. For the first gift of $5000 or more, you will receive the original art of this angel. More angels will be offered after this one is given to a donor. Please help us help this amazing and talented friend who is trying to survive on many levels. https://gofund.me/f4685711

29 PIECES LOOKS BACK AT 2016 — As part of the 29 Pieces' Dallas RESPECT Project, asked high school students from W.H. Adamson, Sunset, Booker T. Washington and Dallas Can Academy in Dallas to challenge us all to not just talk about respect and compassion but to live it! Thom Browne worked with the students on the wording of the RESPECT Pledge and Mayor of Dallas Mike Rawlings was one of the first to sign. The RESPECT Pledge spread all over the USA and the world! Watch here: https://rb.gy/mtlso

29 PIECES LOOKS BACK AT 2015 — The 29 Pieces Dallas RESPECT Project used visual art to empower people to GO VIRAL with RESPECT. We set a positive chain reaction in motion by creating thousands of pieces of RESPECT artwork and displayed it throughout Dallas. Teachers and teaching artists were trained to facilitate the RESPECT Project lesson in classrooms and community centers. Participants joined a collective effort to use art to make values like RESPECT and COMPASSION spread during times fraught with disrespectful language and actions, fear, anger, and hatred. Will you not join us today and sign The RESPECT Pledge? https://29pieces.org/respect/

JOURNAL YOUR OBSERVATIONS — STUDENT ART SAMPLES AND TEACHER FEEDBACK
 Artwork is from the classes of Ms. Annette Trammell, Grand Prairie TX ISD and Ms. Arlene Shelton, Aledo TX ISD #K12 ❤️ “This was one of the first lessons the students created. It kept them engaged and excited about learning how to draw. The students were given many opportunities to collaborate and share ideas with one another. This helped build a strong community foundation for our class as we just started to get to know each other. It set up a safe sharing space for students so they could work together and not feel intimidated. This lesson also allowed students to be creative and individually successful even if they had never taken an art class before. Overall, the students learned a lot about using journaling to help with inner thoughts and inner peace. They learned to do observational drawings and to build an artistic, creative, well-balanced composition.” Ms. Karen Doles, Garden Grove, CA
