On Thursday, July 27 and Friday, July 28, Visual Resistance will present If They Come For You In the Morning, a benefit gallery show featuring over 70 renowned and emerging artists at ABC No Rio in New York´s Lower East Side.

The show will feature some of the most respected and prolific street artists working today, including the Barnstormer´s David Ellis, Banksy, Swoon, Borf, Chris Stain, Arofish, Kelly Burns, GoreB, Josh MacPhee, and MOMO, as well as veterans of the landmark political comics journal World War 3 Illustrated, including Eric Drooker, Seth Tobocman, Peter Kuper, Nicole Schulman, and Christopher Cardinale, as well as dozens of other participating artists.

All proceeds from the show will benefit the legal fund of local environmental and social justice activist Daniel McGowan, who currently faces life plus 335 years in prison on federal charges of arson, property destruction, and conspiracy. Daniel was arrested during Operation Backfire, a multi-state sweep of environmental activists who have now been charged with virtually every unsolved earth and animal liberation case in the Northwest. Daniel has pled not guilty to all charges.

All artwork in the show will be reasonably priced, with selected prints starting at $5. Don’t go home empty-handed!
