Calendar Listing Darkness & Light Art Exhibition – San Diego

DC Entertainment’s Darkness & Light: Art Inspired by Heroes & Villains, Hope & Heroism exhibition, a one-of-a-kind art and education tour to raise awareness and funds for the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, will be shown at Michael J. Wolf Fine Arts in San Diego.

Here is an image of the original Jim Lee piece featured in the exhibition called “Batman”

The unique pairing of comic-inspired art with photography from the Horn of Africa shows visitors what is possible when we tap into our own super hero qualities of responsibility, willpower and inner strength to be of service to people in need. Darkness & Light is a signature initiative of We Can Be Heroes, a giving campaign designed to raise awareness and funds for the worst hunger crisis in 60 years that is taking place in the Horn of Africa, where more than 8 million people are in need of immediate assistance.
Staged in time for San Diego Comic-Con International, the centerpiece of the collection is a large-scale piece of original artwork by Jim Lee, the legendary artist and DC Entertainment co-publisher, featuring the profile of Batman in a color palette inspired by the hues of Africa – yellow, green, red and black.
Darkness & Light tells the story of the crisis through the lens of those working tirelessly to help the people of the Horn of Africa fight the hunger crisis. On display for one week only, this is an exhibit you and your family won’t want to miss!
