Life Preservers Inc. and RS POP Shop Join Forces to Save Lives

March 14, 2011 - PRLog -- RS POP is excited to announce its POP UP for the end of March 2011 with Life Preservers Inc., a New York State non-profit arts organization dedicated to creating consciousness and resources for the victims of human trafficking. "I was inspired by the dedication that Shana Pederson [President, Life Preservers Inc.] has, and we have seen the impact that her infectious energy has through the response we’ve already received,” says Melissa Gonzalez, Co-Founder of RS POP Shop, “Since releasing our newsletter we’ve had interest from new artists who hope to be a part of this cause.”

This collective will be featuring emerging local artists who produce photography, paintings, jewelry, textiles and even unique guitars.  “At RS POP we strongly believe in building a community with the artists and designers that we represent and through charity we all build deeper bonds,” says Gonzalez.  Portions of all the proceeds sold at RS POP Shop will be donated to organizations such as RestoreNY, GEMS-Girls, and Polaris Project, which aid victims of human trafficking.

"Participating artists are asked to create unique works of art utilizing any and all mediums," says Shana Pederson, President of Life Preservers Inc. "We like ‘Life Preservers’ to be kept in mind during creation or in some manner be represented in the final product either literally or figuratively."

Life Preservers Inc. was created in the hopes that through increased awareness, the millions of women and children brought into the country for the purpose of human slavery will be able to reclaim their lives and a safe place in society.  The Life Preservers Project gives artists the rare opportunity to create pieces that will both educate through the power of content and concurrently raise funds for these organizations.  "As artists it’s great to know that we can use our design skills and creativity to give back to the greater good,” says Bonnie Kaye Whitfield, Co- Owner and artist, Kaye Rachelle Designs.
