If you've browsed my gallery, you know that I've been creating art about the Iraq war.  Last week I found an online site dedicated to socially-conscious art.  It's called Art Cries Out at www.artcriesout.com.  Subjects range from the war to Hurricane Katrina and beyond.  I entered their Iraq War Memorial competition and right now am one of three finalists.  Whatever the outcome, it's great to have an online site that's focused on works of this nature.  It's hard to get these artworks seen, and I've even seen writers and critics complaining that "artists aren't engaged in the Iraq war."  (My response to them is YOU'RE NOT LOOKING!)  Anyway, if you're interested in this kind of work, go take a look at Art Cries Out.
