The CIMON 'Love to the Rescue' Boat is Compassionate Creativity

— October 12, 2011 — Art & Design
When incredible art is combined with benevolent contribution efforts the result is always creative genius, like the CIMON 'Love to the Rescue' boat, made to sail the faux seven seas in all of it's glittery glory.

The art organization put together its powers of design and created a Swarovski-studded ship made out of LEGO pieces and love. The boat was dubbed with its name because at first glance it is an incredible sparkling sculpture that looks like it could handle high tides, but with a closer look it can be seen carrying a cargo of various-sized hearts.

The CIMON 'Love to the Rescue' was donated to the Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research to be auctioned off at an upcoming gala that will pull in some pricey proceeds. This is one charitably chartered piece of water-ready work.
