It’s Expo time again. Save the date!
On September 26, 2009 we will throw our biggest, baddest event yet. What started in the year 2000 at Cell Space has grown to fill the Music Concourse in San Francisco’s majestic Golden Gate Park. This year, our Tenth Year, we plan on hosting 200+ art organizations of all sizes and genres. We will present our 5th Annual Performance Showcase. And, we are proud to announce the introduction of The Four Corners Mural Project, an exhibition of live art, and a planned sculpture garden.
But that’s not all. We realized that a day in the park is great to meet people, and promote independent art endeavors of all kinds, but to really serve artists, we have added a second, very special event. This year we very proud to introduce the Expo for Independent Arts Symposium, which will be on Friday, September 25th. The Symposium will offer workshops, panel discussions and networking opportunities for artists.
But who is this “we” I speak of? This year we have assembled a top notch Expo Team.
Jessica Brown is our Special Events Coordinator and was brought on specifically to do the Expo. She has planned events large and small from 25 to 50,000 peeps! Jessica is also known as Food Gnome . She loves farmer’s markets and cooking.
Cristina Ibarra is our Community Arts Coordinator. Cristina is coordinating the Four Corners Mural Project, Recruiting performers and working on the Symposium. (Of course that’s not all, but in the interest of brevity…)
Yesenia Sanchez is our Symposium Coordinator. Yesenia is a long time friend of Indy Arts and has presented numerous workshops in our DIY series. Yesenia is also a practicing coach who specializes in working artists.
Watch here for the story of The Tenth Annual Expo for Independent Arts. There will be many more musings to come.
