Dream Seeding co-sponsor Eugene V. Debs Cooperative House will host a series of “art nights” on Sunday evenings in January and February to create a few projects to include in our art exhibition (going up March 1st!).
These will be fun, informal get togethers where folks can plug into our group projects or bring their own,  and consider other things we may be able to create.
We will be meeting at Debs Co-op  on January 24th,  31st,  & February 7th, 14th, 21th,  & 28th from around 7:30-10 pm.
Debs Co-op has a often been the home of  craft nights and group art projects but our house is actually rather small (for 23 folks) and space is limited–so please, RSVP if you plan to come!

On Jan. 24, we plan to work on a large papier maché Planet Earth and maybe film a short video about Dream Seeding for youtube…

It’ll be fun!

Thanks!
Chris

Dream Seeding for Compassionate Communities

Dream Seeding, for Compassionate Communities All Ages Art Show is coming to Ann Arbor!!

We are very excited to host another Dream Seeding Art Show this March 2010!

And now we are now putting the word out near and far to find art for future generations, art for better world, art for compassionate communities!

We are in the process of contacting art teachers, arts organizations, media, progressive organizations, cooperatives & intentional communities, and more to find submissions from all ages and skill levels.  We’ll be fliering around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti and posting notices on online arts sites, & more.

All that and more all to find creative expression that somehow helps us to see a more compassionate world really can be.

If you or your organization want to participate in any way in making this Dream Seeding Art Show happen, please get in touch!

Thanks!!

Chris, from Dream Seeding

Here is a video about Dream Seeding, for a Better World by filmmaker Robert Hughes, with mini-interviews with many of the artist as they brought their work to put in the show!

Thanks so very much to Robert for making this film!  And thanks to all the artists who have made this show a very unique community art experience!

¡Hola All!


One video of Seth Bernard and Daisy May Erlewine wasn’t near enough, so here is another video from youtube.  They are singing the song “Shine On” at the Creole Gallery in Lansing a while back.


May it brighten and warm your January day!
