. . . And the Society of Illustrators in association with The Nation magazine are making the case.

Their current exhibition Artists Against the War (January 3–January 26, 2008) is is the expression of over 60 of the top graphic artists and illustrators working in the United States and abroad whose anguish has compelled them to produce works that challenge the self-destructive ignorance, indifference, incompetence and corruption that is the result of US Middle East foreign policy. These works of art will give a voice to those whose views are not represented by the mainstream media. We will be using this forum as a way to support those most directly affected by the harsh consequences of military combat—the brave men and women who serve their country as well as their family members who must live with the affects of war long after the parades are over.

100% of the proceeds from the opening night (January 9) entry fee will be donated to Disabled American Veterans.

A panel discussion: The Media: The First Casualty in Iraq will take place on Wednesday Jan 23 at 7:00.
