DESCRIPTION:Never Alone Eco-Prisoner Support Exhibition\n\nOnline at neveraloneart.org 
 – June11-30, 2014\n\nThe second annual Never Alone online art auction 
 launches on June 11, the International Day of Solidarity with Marie Mason, 
 Eric McDavid and all Eco-prisoners. Marie and Eric are two environmental 
 and social justice activists who are both serving near 20 year sentences 
 for their involvement in environmental struggle in the United States. All 
 artworks will be exhibited and available for online purchase until June 30. 
 Funds raised will be used to support Marie, Eric and other eco-prisoners' 
 needs.\n\nThere are 24 artists involved this year, including a number of 
 prisoners who have contributed artworks from behind prison walls. All of 
 the artworks focus on themes of wilderness, liberation, state captivity and 
 our relationship with the natural world and other animals.\n\nMarie Mason, 
 a prolific visual artist and musician, has contributed two paintings from a 
 restrictive unit inside Carswell Federal Prison in Texas. Her paintings 
 depict aspects of the natural world that are shared with her by friends 
 from the outside who are continuing the struggle to defend ecological 
 systems. Another prisoner who has contributed artwork is Jose Heladio 
 Villarreal, a hunger striker and long term resident of Pelican Bay 
 prison's\nnotorious isolation unit.\n\nA great number of artists on the 
 other side of prison walls, including members of the Justseeds Artists' 
 Cooperative and Beehive Design Collective, have contributed a range of 
 stunning prints, paintings and drawings.\n\nThe Never Alone exhibition is a 
 beautiful visual representation of people's dedication for defending the 
 natural world, and the rights of people to stand in defense of it without 
 facing excessive punishment from the State. It's also a passionate 
 expression of solidarity with those who have fallen prey to the waves of 
 repression we see political activists facing all over the 
 world.\n\nStarting on June 11, the Never Alone exhibition will be able to 
 be viewed online around the world at neveraloneart.org until June 
 30.\n\nCONTRIBUTING ARTISTS\nAdam Void, Ali Cat Leeds, Alma
