Free the Beasts book launch and reception

Following a live studio audience taping of The Calling All Vegans Show, we will be celebrating NYC-based multimedia animal liberation and environmental protection artivists, Artemis Beasts (aka Vilma Duplantier and Shelly Voorhees), at the unveiling of their stunningly gorgeous art + cookbook, “Free The Beasts: Plant Based Activism”. Performance art, plant-based food, and activism come together to showcase the interconnectedness between human, animal, and nature, to inspire peaceful co-existence and compassion for animals.

But the goodness doesn’t just live on the pages inside this book…10 percent of book sales and 30 percent of art sales will be distributed to @rowdygirlsanctuary , @nyclass , and @tamerlainesanctuary , each doing crucial work for animals.

Over mocktails and light plant-based snacks, get to know the two anthropomorphic beings — half human animal/half non-human animal — who are featured throughout “Free the Beasts”, where animals are not only NOT food, but are instead in a position of great respect.

Through this book, the Artemis Beasts are enjoying life, good food, freely expressing thoughts about animal liberation, and presenting the abundance in the kingdom of plants. Their goal is for all of us to escape the broken, dystopian, animal-based food industry, and live on a planet where all “beasts” are free.

The vintage elevator is up and running until 4:00!
