Dear friends-We are having a salon of ideas, concerns, art share and more
tomorrow evening in San Francisco at the Red Poppy Art House in the Mission.
It is our first and I wanted you all to join us if you can. It is a way in
which to meet other artists and organizations who share many of your
concerns and passions. Join us if you are available and stay tuned for more
of "La Mesa"---join us around the table!
Happy summer -
Lily
Alliance for California Traditional Artists

LA MESA: A Peer-to-Peer Salon and Clinic
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Red Poppy Art House
2698 Folsom Street (@ 23rd Street)
San Francisco, CA 94104
La Mesa means "the table" in Spanish, and these informal peer-to-peer
clinics/salons invite traditional artists and organizations to the table to
provide peer-to-peer brainstorming, feedback and perspectives on your most
burning issues as a traditional arts advocate. Whether you are experienced
or green, this facilitated group dialogue offers a chance to vet your
questions and concerns with other thoughtful colleagues. Bring your own
dinner, questions and challenges you face as a traditional artist or
organization, and, if you are inspired, a song, dance, or art to share with
new (and old) colleagues in our backyards. Light refreshments served. RSVP
recommended, as space is limited.
To RSVP contact Sherwood Chen <mailto:
sherwood@...> via email or
(415) 346-3800.
La Mesa is presented as part of ACTA's Traditional Arts Roundtable Series,
with generous support from the <
http://www.hewlett.org/> William & Flora
Hewlett Foundation and the <
http://www.sfartscommission.org/ceg/> San
Francisco Arts Commission Cultural Equity Grants Program. ACTA's
Traditional Arts Roundtable Series strengthens San Francisco Bay Area
intercultural traditional arts networks and leadership, and offers
opportunities for traditional artists and arts advocates to learn from one
another through intimate discussion, technical assistance, networking, and
sharing community-based arts and culture.
