Sea No Evil, an art show serving as an art benefit to preserve and protect the world's oceans, is set to go down at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium in Riverside, California at the end of the month.
It's a fundraiser for the Sea Shepherd Organization, and will feature donated art from such noted artists as Bobby Hundreds, Jun Cha, Max242, Munk One, Neko, Retna, Shepard Fairey, Jeff Soto, Skullphone, Deph and a very long list of others.
There is a $20 donation required to get in, or you can purchase a $110 VIP ticket that includes a Sea No Evil T-shirt, a poster signed by Capt. Paul Watson, founding director of the Greenpeace Foundation, and VIP entrance to the show.
There will also be a bunch of musical acts.
The Crystal Method will do a DJ set to headline the night, while artist Shepard Fairey will show work as well as be man the ones and twos as DJ Diabetic. Actress Michelle Rodriguez ("Lost," "Avatar," "The Fast and the Furious") also will be spinning, and Matt Costa will give an acoustic performance.
It all goes down on July 31 at 6 p.m. at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium @ 3485 Mission Inn Ave., Riverside, California.

Here's some background info about the annual show, according to their website:
Sea No Evil, an art show benefit to raise awareness of the oceanic conservation needed through out the world. For the sole benefit of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to continue their aggressive campaigns to end the illegal whaling in Antarctica, the bloody seal hunt in Canada, dolphin slaughter in Japan and illegal shark finning in the Galapagos.
What started as a misguided whale watching excursion, has become a powerful vein of support to create change and awareness touching the entire world. By bringing together like minded artists and art enthusiasts, we hope to give each observer the opportunity to be apart of a something bigger then one.
The action of many magnifies the voice of one.
Building upon the success of first two art show which raised over $85,000 combined, this year we have confirmed over 50 artists donating more then 70 pieces of art to be auctioned the night of Saturday, August 29th.
