Artist John Mavroudis, currently with 32 posters in the Moonalice series, has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to screen print his “Harvey Milk: Hope is Never Silent” art containing names from over 150 figures from LGBTQ history.
This piece was originally designed in 2017 when Friends of Harvey Milk Plaza and San Francisco arts non-profit Illuminate, John Mavroudis, and Haight Street Art Center came together to honor Harvey Milk on the 40th Anniversary of Harvey’s historic 1977 election as California’s first openly gay elected official.
November 8, 2017 was also the 20th Anniversary of Gilbert Baker’s Giant Rainbow Flag being raised above Harvey Milk Plaza. 🏳️🌈

If you would like to purchase a print, there are many options available including signed and numbered screen printed variants. Every pledge of support gets John closer to his goal of seeing this art screen printed on quality, archival stock!
