Fringe Benefits Project - Last Chance

If you were thinking of obtaining one of the few remaining Fringe Benefits Project posters then time has nearly run out.

As you can see from this tweet by @Galleries1988 you will only be able to purchase up until the end of the day today.

To purchase go to the FringeBenefitsproject.com and click on the image of the poster you want to buy.

Remember all proceeds from the sale of these posters will go to the Mission Continues charity.

Fringe Benefits Project Art Show

Yesterday Twitter user @comixguru found the details of a Fringe Benefits Art Show.

Click the screenshot or click here to go to the event information page.

The show will feature all of the posters in this series and there will be cast and crew attending including Fringe Co-Creator JJ Abrams.

There will also be an exclusive advanced screening of episode 11 of season 5.

The show is in the Paley Center in LA on the 9th of January and public tickets go on sale (assuming the world doesn't end) on the 21st of December.

If you cannot attend in person the information on the Paley Center website says "Join the Conversation! We will LIVE tweet this event. Follow @paleycenter and use #PaleyLiveLA to join in."

Fringe Benefits Project

A few days ago the Gallery 1988 twitter account (@Galleries1988) tweeted a picture of a Fringe hand glyph.

This of course set my senses tingling as Gallery 1988 is well known for TV show tie in art projects, I'm sure some of you will remember the LOST art series, Damon Carlton and a Polar Bear, that they produced and perhaps more recently the Breaking Bad art project called Breaking Gifs.

Yesterday the URL - FringeBenefitsProject.com was tweeted which takes you to the website you can see in the screenshot to the left. (I'm assuming this is nothing to do with our podcast friends, but I'm sure they will tell us if they are involved)

On visiting the site you can see there are six spaces with question marks, which will more than likely be for six limited edition silk screened posters.

Below that is a list of episodes that you can vote for, and I think the implication is the winning episode, or possibly episodes, will be represented by a new piece of Fringe art.

The information at the top of the website mentions Mission Continues and the Galleries 1988 twitter account also tweeted this URL - MissionContinues.org/. This website is for a charity that works with veterans and I am guessing that some, or possibly all, of the profits from the sale will go to help charity.

If there are any more details I'll try and post update here but if previous Gallery 1988 campaigns are anything to go by things can happen very quickly and with little warning.

I do also help to run a site called Printvengers and we will be definitely be covering this art project in more detail.
