Vegetarian Star

Cheech Marin is being honored at the ArtHamptons International Art Fair in Bridgehampton as arts patron of the year.

In addition to collecting art from a variety of genres, Marin has had the opportunity to meet with some exciting names in the field, including vegan artist Peter Max.

The two had an exchange on veganism, but it unfortunately wasn’t enough inspiration to convince Marin to add any veggie paintings to his collection.

Rory Freedman spent the day learning what it’s like to be paralyzed for Next Step’s “Wheelchair for a Day” challenge.

Freedman spends the day traveling with vegetarian artist Gretchen Ryan and one of the first stops they make is a trip to the yoga studio.

“Yoga is part of my everyday life and I was curious for myself to see, “If I were in a wheelchair, would I still have this part of my life that’s so important to me?” Freedman asked.

On Thursday, September 30th, 2010, Peter Max and wife Mary will host an event for the United Poultry Concerns and the Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos at the Peter Max Studio located at 37 West 65th Street, 7th Floor Between Columbus & Central Park West in New York City from 6:30-9:00 PM.

The Kaporos ritual precedes Yom Kippur and involves ritually slaughtering chickens in orthodox Jewish Communities. Dr. Allen Kornberg from Farm Sanctuary has suggested vegetarians and vegans substitute this practice for a gesture of kindness and charity during the Holiday, such as donating to a worthwhile cause or putting a material offering in a bag and sacrificing it as they would a live chicken.

Mary McCartney‘s favorite vegetarian snack is an old standby–peanut butter and jelly, something she learned to love from watching Sesame Street.

And although PB & J sandwiches make a great item to carry in school lunches, McCartney says she doesn’t force her lifestyle on her children, even though they have chosen to be vegetarian.

“They don’t have to be,” McCartney said. “It would be their choice. I don’t like to force it on people. I don’t like to be told what to do, so I don’t like to tell them what to do.”

PB & J may be older than Big Bird, but there are numerous variations of the sandwich you can try when things get boring.

Performing artist Marina Abramovic recently gave one of her most grueling exhibits, although she did nothing but sit in a chair all day–for over a month!

Abramovic took part in “Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present” exhibition at the New York Museum of Modern Art every day the museum was open for the exhibit, a performance she described to the Wall Street Journal as leaving her “completely destroyed.”

To prepare herself for the routine, Abramovic said she went vegetarian and drank a lot of water.

Go Vegan! is an art exhibit by vegan artist Jonathan Horowitz that’s currently on display at the Gavin Brown Enterprise, former home of a meat packing facility in Manhattan.

The exhibit features artwork, as well as pictures of vegetarian celebrities in different parts of the facility that housed dead animals for so many decades, the stench of meat is very hard to remove and is considered to be “part of the experience.”

Shaking, trepid stomached vegetarians, beware! This video may be the closest you can come to seeing the exhibit.

An old meat locker features a picture of a turkey being served at dinner, with the addition of blood splattered words and markings on it.

Horowitz’s work will be on display through June 19 at the Gavin Brown’s Enterprise on 601 Washington Street and Leroy Street in Manhattan.
