Stage Design need help!

This is a call for help! The Stage Design team at Mosaic is building a huge staircase/tower set prop for a dance piece on Nov. 4th. They're working hard as you read this to finish it by the 1st, and we on the dance team are trying to enlist some help. We are tentatively looking at either Monday, Oct. 29th or Wednesday the 31st as a night to storm Mott Auditorium and help finish building and painting this monstrosity. If you are interested in coming and helping one of those nights, please reply to this email and we will make sure to update you on the specifics.

We will have ice cream and root beer and a boombox. It'll be a dancing-painting-building-rootbeerfloathaving-party.

Plus you will be able to put the finishing touches on what promises to be a monstrous, ambitious set prop that will stand tall on the Mott and Mayan stages on Nov. 4th.
email dance@mosaic.org if they want to join,
cuz we don't know yet if it'll be Monday or Wednesday

Photos from Zambia Gallery

Here are some photos from the Zambia Dinner/Gallery held September 16, 2007. We had 6 live artists, 4 of which had booths where they created original art that was auctioned throughout the night, and the remaining 2 painted an amazing frame/mural on the wall where footage from Zambia was projected. Images from the mural are seen here. Proceeds from the event was used to support an ongoing project of building a village that will provide a safe haven for the children in Zambia to live, learn, and receive the proper health care they so desperately need.

Here is a photo of what the funds raised help to build in Zambia.

ART Walks

WHAT & WHY: The Ob(serve) Art Walk

People interested in serving with an artistic twist will be getting together in 3 different locations! We will visit artistic communities (art galleries, museums, and exhibits concentrated in particular neighborhoods) and a coffee shop or two and distribute our Ob(serve) zines that came out last year. We will hopefully engage in conversations with others and spontaneously find small ways to serve people in the community (ex. paying for a stranger's coffee . . and we can think of other little ways). Basically - have fun! This is a great way to get to know some of the other artists within Mosaic, develop relationships with other lovers of art within these communities, serve with others in a unique way, and enjoy really great art that is being exhibited LOCALLY!
