Like the people who have this harsh Crohn’s Disease !

To support and encourage those living with Crohn’s and Colitis, four established and emerging New Zealand artists have created an exquisite exhibition to raise awareness of the daily challenges Crohn’s and Colitis sufferers face.

Due to the symptoms of bowel inflammation, Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis sufferers often desperately need toilets. CCNZ is using Art-a-loo to raise awareness of those who have experienced more toilets than anyone else and to do so in an uplifting way.

YOU CAN BUY YOUR VERY OWN ART-A-LOO!!

Featured on TVNZ Breakfast on 29th July, the Art-a-loos are truly unique pieces of art that will never be replicated. Component’s Art-a loo captures the idea of a toilet being a beacon for people who live with Crohn’s. X Marks the Spot uses imagery and typography to make the Art-a loo represent the reality of life for so many people with Crohn’s and colitis. This piece also has an internal light which emits a glow through the roof and walls.

More photos coming! You can see this Art-a-loo displayed at Te Papa over the weekend 30 July – 1 August!

ALL PROCEEDS OF THIS AUCTION WILL GO TO CROHN’S AND COLITIS NEW ZEALAND (CCNZ) TO SUPPORT SUFFERERS OF CROHN’S DISEASE AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS.

Please visit www.crohnsandcolitis.org.nz to learn more about the group, and www.toiletmap.co.nz to visit CCNZ’s great new tool!

It is a fund raiser for a an Organization called PangeaSeed
for which Aaron Glasson is now volunteering on the creative side of things.
PangeaSeed is one of the few NPO’s to be actively working on Ocean
conservation here in Japan, which is kinda sad/ ironic considering
that Japan has one of the biggest fishing industries in the world,
openly hunts Whales, Shark and Dolphins, and pollutes the ocean to no
end.

A little bit about PangeaSeed. Our focus is mostly on Shark
Conservation as 100million are killed yearly. Not only is it mostly by
inhumane “finning,” but such large scale killings of the oceans top
predator are causing big problems for the balance under the sea. Last
year we also worked on efforts to get “The Cove” shown in Japan (as
its banned here, if you haven’t heard about it check out
www.thecovemovie.com. More recently we just published Japans first and
only Sustainable Seafood Consumer Guide in an effort to raise
awareness about the dire state of international fish stocks. For more
info about what we do check out www.pangeaseed.com and click on
“English”

Join PangeaSeed August 12-18 as we celebrate SHARK
LOVE at Gallery T in Enoshima.
SHARK LOVE is a non-profit art exhibition featuring original works
from world renowned artist such as Dave Kinsey, Kozyndan, Haroshi, and
many more all coming together to spread the love for one of the
world’s most misunderstood and important animals.
One hundred million sharks are killed every year.  Find out why and
what you can do to save them @  www.pangeaseed.com
