It is at those desperate times of turmoil that art and freedom of expression can change the world.

Everyone should take part in that change.

Known internationally as the painter of fields, grass canvas artist Stan Herd has made waves around the world with messages of unity, love and solidarity.

With this motivation, Earthworks Artist, Stan Herd has pledged his oath for change at the heart of Los Angeles, California.

In these times when communication can happen faster and further than ever before, when an image, an idea can spread with little to no resistance across the planet,it is then that a message of truth can spark the hardest flame to light, the one in our hearts.

Morningside High School, located two miles from LAX airport opened its doors once again to the Kansas provocateur.

I took 20 thousand out of my account and rallied my crew from three states to join me in Southern California."

-Stan Herd

The half acre portrait of Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Elie Wiesel was created over 9 days and completed on February 12th, 2022, just three blocks away from SoFi Stadium.

When the lives of the innocent are at stake.

When suffering and death are at our neighbor's doorstep.

Fear must never replace Love.

The project took root with connections from a good friend in Kansas City, Brian Weinberg, who works with private funding, companies and foundations that support humanitarian causes.

Morningside High School wanted their students to have opportunities to learn about media, art and activism. Vice Principal Mary Spruce opened the doors, circumventing standard procedure.

This was a community effort at its best.

Marc Pollick, founder of The Giving Back Fund, pledged to raise funds in an effort to cover direct costs.

The donation drive is still open and available here.

Seek out those who make peace their purpose and join their protest. Make the change together. Share, donate and pledge to stop the indifference today.

Evil flourishes when good people stand by and avert their eyes to hatred and violence.

WITH THE WORLD IN TURMOIL HERE AND ACROSS THE PLANET, WE FELT IT WAS TIME TO SHARE AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE SIT ON THE SIDELINES AND DISENGAGE." - STAN HERD

As tanks roll into Ukraine and missiles light up European skies, this message of hope, resilience and courage urges men and women of good will everywhere to unite as a responsibility not in fear, but in Love, in peace and in protest.

It is together when we find the moral strength to shift the tides that push us apart.

Use your privilege to spread the message.

The Opposite of Love is not Hate. It's Indifference.

Make the change together.

Share, donate and pledge to fight indifference today.

Stand with us in a outcry so vast that it can fill all ears, all eyes, all minds with moral indignation.
