CALL FOR ART!

Rock Paper Scissors Art Auction 2010
opening

We are looking for artists to donate pieces to our 2010 Art Auction to be held at Rock Papers Scissors Gallery for the month of September. The show will open in time for September’s First Friday Art Murmur-which draws between 2,000 to 3,500 people each month- and will close with an auction event on Saturday September 25, 7-10pm. This is not only a great opportunity to help a local arts organization but also to receive a lot of exposure for your work.

We are looking for a range of artists and art from all over the Bay Area, presenting visual art, wearable art, and crafts (2D and 3D work accepted).

The auction will support the ongoing operations of the Rock Paper Scissors Collective, a non-profit volunteer-run organization that fosters creativity and collaboration in order to strengthen local communities and encourage sustainable practices and alternative models. Partnerships include after-school fashion classes with MetWest High School, youth interns from schools all over the East Bay, Design/Build Workshops with City Slickers Backyard Gardeners Program, a Prisoner Art exhibition at RPSC, and many more free to low-cost classes open to the community.

If you are interested please email Community@rpscollective.com ASAP (best by Saturday July 3,2010)

RPS Still in Search of Youth Interns!

Rock Paper Scissors Collective (RPS) in downtown Oakland is launching two fantastic youth programs for young people ages 14-21!

1. Community Collaborations Intern: We are in the process of looking for a few dedicated interns to spend the year documenting our community education programming, learning a variety of art skills, and have the opportunity to be mentored by a professional artist and exhibit work in our June 2010 gallery exhibition. This meets Wed afternoons at RPS.

2. Street Style, our youth fashion and entrepreneurial class: We are looking for students interested in learning how to make and market their own clothing! This will meet Tuesdays at RPS 4:30-6:30. No prior experience needed! Applications can be found here: http://acearts.blogspot.com/
