FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PoshPublic Aligns Art and Fashion with Charity to Create a New


Format for Collaboration -- Yoga Style
Crowdfunding Ground Zero, Planet Earth - November 22nd, 2015 - The
Innovators at PoshPublic are determined to bring creative and caring
people together to harness their collective talents. They aim to help the
unfortunate, to boost the careers of artists and to make sure people look
great while they do it.
This unique crowdfunding platform forms triangular, synergistic alliances
between three separate parties who would otherwise be unlikely partners.
The resulting synergy allows artists to crowdfund their work while building
awareness for charities through the medium of quality, handcrafted items of
clothing.
PoshPublic's newest campaign features the work of three distinct artists
presented on yoga pants. A big percentage of the sale of these artistic and
stretchy garments then goes to benefit a charity of the individual artist's
choice. The American Cancer Society (ACS), Nelson Mandela's Children's
Fund (NMCF), and Friends of the Orphans Canada (FOC) are about to be
touched by the works of Gabriel Gault, Jabu and Amanda Morie.
Son of the NFL and the ACS
While Gabe is the son of former NFL wide receiver Willie Gault, he is a star in
his own right. Gabe creates interesting and unique contemporary art using
celebrity figures and pop culture icons. His skill and intuitive artistic talent
lend themselves into depicting these images in ways never seen before. His
impressive mastery of traditional media in a digital age is refreshing and
inspiring. You can look at his artwork on his website at gabegault.com or
follow him on Instagram @gabegault. PoshPublic has made this artwork
accessible to you while benefiting a fantastic cause ACS, who for over 100
years, has led the fight against cancer through education, support, and
fundraising. LA regional ACS chair and breast cancer survivor Cynthia Vant

Hul attests: "Uniting with others gives us the power to make a real difference
in the fight to end breast cancer."
The Transformer and the NMCF
The artist Jabu describes his work as "Transformative Art" and the man's
work achieves exactly that. The South African native who lived through the
Apartheid era brings happiness and color into what can often be an
unfriendly world. His images will be splayed across sets of tensile yoga
trousers as the wearers become nimble and healthy. Proceeds will benefit
one of the legacies of Jabu's fellow countryman Nelson Mandela. The NMCF
was founded in 1995 and is "changing the way society treats its children and
youth" by working with partners throughout South Africa.
Abstract Acrylics and the FOC
Multi Media painter Amanda Morie creates dazzling displays of color and
design that have earned her widespread popularity and international
recognition. Her detailed swathes of texture and color will decorate sets of
flexible yoga slacks that are sure to make workouts dynamic and vibrant.
Proceeds will benefit FOC, who provides direct financial assistance for
children in developing countries including Dominican Republic, Nicaragua,
Honduras and more.
Witness PoshPublic's confluence of art and fashion as they combine strengths
of two mediums to reach out to charities that make a difference in the
world's community.
