Artists, Poets, Sculptors, Photographers, Digital Artists, and other Creatives WANTED!

caHolonic Art Movement - Event 9/27
ARTISTS • POETS • SCULPTORS • PHOTOGRAPHERS • DIGITAL ARTISTS and OTHER
CREATIVES WANTED!
The Holonic Art Movement is looking for you! We're in the middle of planning
an event on September 27, 2008 at CorkStop Studios. We have a few projects planned and need more participants. Here's a list:

1. At least 12 artists to create 5x5" pieces of art (photography, prints, drawings, paintings, watercolor, collage... you name it) with a given theme in mind. They have to be on heavier paper and will be matted & framed together.

2. One more local (SLO County) artist to paint a 18x18" panel (theme: vessel, color: predominantly blue), panel will be supplied by us (there are nine panels altogether)

3. Artists to create 2.5x3.5" cards (like Artist Trading Cards, no rules - as long as the final product is this size and more or less flat) or tags (size to be determined). Themes will be announced.

4. Poets to submit poems to go along with the artist cards (see 3).

5. Book artists to combine the artist cards (see 3.) and poems (see 4.) into a beautiful book (or two)

6. Four local artists to paint 12"x12" panels (theme: black & white), panels will be supplied by us.

7. Local creative people to assemble a sculpture from found materials. We'll supply the first piece. The sculpture goes around from person to person. Everybody adds a piece or two.

The deadline for all artwork (except the books) is August 15th. No exceptions, no excuses. If your work isn't here, we can't use it! Pieces will need to get assembled and/or framed, so this will give us enough time. Book artists will need time to create the book before the event, so if you don't think you can finish your project by August 15th, let us know! We will sign you up anyway, but save your piece for the next round. We're also open to your ideas about how you would like to interact and collaborate with other artists!

Wardrobe Revamp Classes Are Back!

It’s all about originality.

This summer ARTS Obispo will sponsor a series of 5 classes for creative MINDS interested in rethinking, recycling, and recreating clothing, accessories and jewelry. The focus is on reclaiming used garments. Simple sewing skills will be used to reinvent your clothing. Learn stenciling, stamping, painting, and stitching techniques to alter the look of fabrics. T-shirts, skirts, and jeans, become a canvas for creative expression.

5 Wednesdays from 6 – 9 PM
July 16, 23, 30 and August 6, 13
Classes held at ARTS Space Obispo
Suite 165 in the SLO Creamery

Workshop fee for all 5 classes is $125. Some scholarship support is available. Class size is limited to 12. Enrollment priority is given to those signing up for the entire workshop. There will be a waiting list for individual classes ($35 per class). Info: RRTS Obispo at (805) 544-9251
