WE WANT YOUR KID - New York - 16th May, by BROOKLYNITE on Apr 18, 2009 20:25:21 GMT 1, KIDS SHOW - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Hey y'all. . . Got a quick question for you . . .
When things don't go as planned and life gives you a 'lemon'-- WHAT DO YOU DO?
Not sure if the answers is the same for everyone, but for the crew at BROOKLYNITE GALLERY we take that 'lemon' and crush it into an art exhibition for the most impressionable, free thinking-minds, humankind has to offer. . . KIDS.
Announcing a call for submissions for a kids exhibition titled, "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY" opening May 16.
We know a lot of you forum members have children who love to paint and draw. We also know that there have been many times you've looked at their work and thought to yourself--- that's pretty damn good! We'll now is your chance (and theirs) to show it.
We are joining together our local Brooklyn youth and the youth from YOUR neighborhood to showcase some great young talent in hopes of inspiring them to continue to use creative expression throughout their lives.
...And what better way to do that than to offer them money! If your child happens to sell their work at the exhibition they will get paid for it, minus a small portion that will go to a kids charity (TBA).
AS AN ADDED BONUS: MISS BUGS, JOE BLACK, DAIN, and other artists TBA will submit one piece of work and allow kids to add their collaborative efforts to it--- Those pieces will be auctioned off and a portion of the proceeds will also go to charity.
So keep the kids home from school, crack open those poster paints, get out the crayons and force them to make a masterpiece Mommy and Daddy can brag about! --After all, it will be carried LIVE on BROOKLYNITE TV with a dope musical guest to accompany the show and LIVE kids graff.
GUIDELINES: ____________
WHAT: "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY" - KIDS SHOW WHEN: MAY 16, OPENING RECEPTION 11am Eastern, LIVE COVERAGE ON BROOKLYNITE TV. WHERE: BROOKLYNITE GALLERY, BROOKLYN, NEW YORK

PE,
I like that preview idea--- Might do some modified version of that.
Yeah the money thing was something we wrestled with a bit at first-- but the truth is (just like the mini-skirt), no matter what we do to hide it, they'll eventually find out there is something called money.
PE-- would love for you to submit a half finished piece for the youth to work on here! You up for it!

Thanks for your support on this PE and everyone pushing this event.
