AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

ARTISTS OF COLOR!

Join us in Watts on Sunday, August 16th for

"A GREAT DAY IN WATTS"

an event to photograph a show of unity amongst all artists of color.

On August 16th we will create a photographic document in the tradition
of a "Great Day in Harlem", the photograph taken by Bert Stern in the
50's and “The Big Shoot" taken by Bob Douglas 10 years ago in which
130 African American Artists from all over California, Led by Joseph
Beckles came together. This Year, the 44th anniversary of the Watts
Revolt and the first year of the Presidency of Barack Obama, this
historic photo will demonstrate the ongoing willingness of visual
artists, musicians, writers, poets, dancers, storytellers, film
makers, photographers and all manner of creative individuals of color
to continue working in unison.
