Calling All Volunteers!

IT’S ECLECTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL AND ART WALK TIME OF YEAR AGAIN AND WE'RE GEARING UP FOR THE BIG DAY


SPARC is once again partnering with the Chamber of Commerce on this year’s ECLECTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL AND ART WALK. We're expanding our participation to include both an interactive art experience and an art exhibition and auction. For this year's art experience, SPARC is staging an exciting project designed by local conceptual artist and SPARC genius Marie Miller. Festival goers will have the opportunity to paint and build unique box sculptures called "3-D Graffiti."

WE HAVE TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE:

Our last work day to prepare is this Sunday May 1st from 11am to 2pm at the SPARC storage space behind Carrows. (Enter off Hope Street). We'll be finishing up priming the boxes and preparing the armatures that we'll be using for the festival. Please come lend a hand. (Those of us who've been working on these have been having a lot of fun!)

WE'LL NEED EVEN MORE HANDS ON DECK FOR THE ACTUAL FESTIVAL

SATURDAY MAY 7th

5-10 pm

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO HELP MAN THE ART ACTIVITIES DURING THE FESTIVAL.

Put on some old clothes and come help out! It's a fun creative opportunity to network, and meet your artist neighbors/fellow SPARC members. (High schoolers can earn community service hours, too.)

SHIFTS AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CONTACT margo.newman@socal.rr.com TO SIGN UP FOR EITHER THE WORK DAY OR THE FESTIVAL

THANKS!!
