ERA Landmark is proud to announce that our September guest artist in downtown Bozeman, George Kalantzes, raised $12,220 towards his charity and donated 100% of the proceeds towards Alzheimer's research in honor of his late mother. The show was an incredible success and we were so happy to host George. Running through the whole month of September and with the help of ERA agent Mark Meissner, the exhibit showed during the downtown Bozeman ArtWalk summer series bringing in hours of viewers who eagerly purchased artwork right off the wall. Paired with his online fundraiser which offered the same donation-based print purchasing of his photographs and flat prints in-store, this solo guest artist exhibit was the most successful to date.

Here are a few words from George:

"The exhibit exceeded even my most optimistic expectations. With the support of the ERA team (Becca and Mark in particular), we hosted a wonderful opening during the September Bozeman Art Walk.  The kindness and compassion from total strangers blew me away and restored a sense of humanity in such a divisive world we live in today. Art truly has the power to bring people with different perspectives together.

100% of the money used to purchase my art will be donated to the Cure Alzheimer's Fund.  A leading nonprofit organization whose organizational structure allows them to use 100% of the funding they receive to go to work on Alzheimer's research in the form of grants.
 
To the people who bought my art... I am so very thankful for their kindness, compassion, and appreciation of my photography.  This was an incredibly important personal initiative. What struck me most was complete strangers sharing their own personal stories or how a friend or family member had been touched by Alzheimer's. It's tragic, overwhelming, and humbling that we are able to make a difference with this work and with our donation."
 
ERA Landmark will gladly host George as a guest artist downtown Bozeman again! Stay tuned to see each of our guest artists from month to month to support even more different local charities.
