Art Cafe at ArtBeat! Call for Artists and Servers

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

The Art Cafe is happening again this year at ArtBeat and we need volunteers!

Can you draw? Paint? Collage? Cartoon? Poetize? Something else? Want to be a snooty waiter? A friendly one? Sign on to work an hour, or two, or three, and contribute your talents to the local arts community.

ArtBeat is the annual Davis Square arts festival and will be taking place this Saturday, July 19, noon to 6pm. This year's theme is Spaces/Places. And the only thing better than attending is being a part of it.

The Art Cafe, in an encore appearance from last year, when the theme was food, is sort of like a restaurant, but we serve art instead of food. "Customers" come in, sit down, and place their orders off a menu. The orders are sent back to the team of chef-artists in the kitchen who dish up art, in the form of drawings, painting, collage, poetry, whatever their medium, on a paper plate which is then served to the customer. Meanwhile, the diners are supplied with paper and crayons to create the payment for their order.

Sound like fun? Check out pictures from last year for the proof. Or ask any of the folks who did it last year.

Send me email if you're interested.

Thanks. :)

Hi! Nice, unhip chick, 30-something, quiet but friendly, looking for good-sized room, setting not too urban, hopefully, 600 or less, easy, happy parking-like books, movies, hanging out with my friends, being outside-if you have a room, or know someone who does, I may be your girl! Feel free to post or email me direct-and good luck!
