Call for Art
Call for Independent Designers, Vendors, Carpenters and Volunteers!
The DIY Emporium and Fashion Show Event Needs You!!!
Thursday October 28th, 2010
We are looking for people who would want to sell their hand made crafts,
costumes, clothes, and accessories in a fashion show event right before the
holidays! It will only be $20 to register your booth at this event and we will
draw a huge crowd to come buy your art! Also if you are interested in having
your designs modeled off send me a pic of your favorite item to show.
We are also needing volunteers for this event. Specifically someone that can
build a catwalk for this event using recycled wood or someone to donate the
materials for this project. We will need a small catwalk for the models to walk
down and show, so if this is something you think you would be able to do let us
know. We will also need volunteers the night of the event
and leading up to the
event. Graphic Designers to help create a poster for the event and a team of
people to distribute around the Bay Area.
Why would we do all this? Because a part of the proceeds will be benefitting
your local art collective, Rock Paper Scissors! So your efforts will be going
to a good cause as well as a kick ass event.
Come join the fun!
Interested participants should email organizer at Samanthal_stevens@yahoo.com,
for information on volunteering, registering for a booth to sell or submitting a
design to be shown.
Deadline for artists is August 25th!!! HURRY

RPSC Seeking Summer Interns
There are opportunities available in all areas of RPSC. Keep an eye on this spot for more information or feel free to contact folks at the email addresses below.
Gallery
This internship provides an excellent opportunity to gain experience in gallery curating practices and procedures. The Gallery Committee facilitates and coordinates RPS Collective’s active exhibition program, including the review, development, and implementation. The work is primarily administrative (emailing, phone calls, other projects) and supports both long-range planning and short-term project development but also includes some actual installation. The Committee interfaces primarily with artists, patrons and other RPSC staff. Interns may work on a variety of projects that support the development and implementation of gallery exhibitions. Please contact JenZoom at galleryatrpscollectivedotcom. Thanks!
