We thought that now would be the right time to repost this awesome video of Shepard describing getting arrested in Denver.

This Movement is powerful, but we need you to help us Manifest Hope.

Getting busted is not a pretty thing, especially when it’s by police in riot gear who are disappointed that there has not been a riot.  Curious about just who and what is at the core of the Grassroots Artists movement for Barack Obama?  Watch the video.

p.s. - All the sweet gear you see behind Shep during the video, you can get from us.

The Manifest Hope Gallery, housed within Denver’s Andenken Gallery, and an additional transformed warehouse space, spans 10,000 sq. ft. and will draw together a works as varied as the voices of the artists who created them. Manifest hope will showcase some of the finest modern contemporary artists, acclaimed NY painters and sculptors, activated grass roots and street artists, and present the most widely recognized pieces seen throughout the 2008 presidential primary campaign, as well as newly commissioned works and previous works on loan from some of the United States top artists.
