Canvas Painting Event – RISE UP INDIA – ART for INDIA 2008

Click to go to some Photos Of the event

Friday night’s free event at the Poet House Art came off famously. Twenty local artists came together to jam for over five hours; painting, drawing, scratching, and splashing their way through 40 feet of canvas. The creative juices flowed and the group worked hard. Images range from friendly trees to withered women to bicycles and flowing jugs.

I guess that maybe 500 people walked through the venue as part of downtown Art Walk and checked out the action while gulping down some wine.

Thank You artists for your hard work. Thank you volunteers and RIse Up for putting it up and taking it down. Thanks to the Poet House for providing the space. Some pieces of last years canvas were sold and some very generous folks (Anitia & Alex) made a really nice donation to Rise Up India. Far Out – you’re awesome, and thank you so much.

Drifting Rant: It was Marilyn Manson who said “we’re all stars now in the dope show”. Let’s prove Marilyn wrong and show him “we’re NOT stars now in the dope show”. Consider RISING UP today. Peace Out.

Hey yeah, if you didn’t know, now is the festival of San Fermin (the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain). It’s a big 11 day party where each morning about 8 am a bunch of bulls are released into the streets of Pamplona and run up to the bull fighting arena. Where, well, it’s a one way trip. And those mad Spaniards love it.

Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon meets Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Singh is an economists and a Sikh. Sikhs don’t cut their hair. They wind it up on their head and wrap a turban around it. Singh is viewed as being very weak and controlled by the Congress party which in turn is controlled by Sonia Gandi (Rajiv Gandi’s widow).
