AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Outpost for Contemporary Art is putting a call out for artists,
musicians, performers, and performance acts to participate in the first
annual Outpost Cup.
The Outpost Cup is a soccer tournament for various age and skill levels
and a performance art and music happening to be held at Los Angeles'
scenic Vista Hermosa park on Sunday, June 6, 2010 from 10am-6pm.
The Outpost Cup is a fundraiser presented by and benefiting Outpost for
Contemporary Art, the Highland Park based non-profit that bridges the
local and international in its art and culture programs and is known for
programs that blur the boundaries of art, social practice and public
life.
The Outpost Cup also celebrates Outpost for Contemporary Art's upcoming
South American residency cycle, launching later this year.
At the Outpost Cup, teams of artists, families, neighborhood and work
groups, competitive players, and others will compete for the glory of
