AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Tossed Salad Call for Entries

“Call any vegetable and the chances are good Aw, the vegetable will respond
to you.” Frank Zappa

Continuing the Arroyo Arts Collective’s tradition of placing art in
unexpected places, the Collective presents Tossed Salad, a series of art
events at Highland Park’s Old L.A. Farmers’ Market, during four Tuesdays in
May. Each week will feature a different art practice: video, performance,
installation work, and interactive presentations. The Collective envisions a
broad range of themes, including, but not limited to, food, health and
wellness, environmental concerns and community building.

TOSSED SALAD SCHEDULE:

Tuesday, May 1 – short videos. Submissions should be less than 5 minutes and
will be compiled on a loop to be screened in a tent at the market.

Tuesday, May 8 – nomadic performances to take place throughout the market
during its hours of operation. Channel your inner fruit or vegetable. Some
possibilities might be puppets, musicians, vegetable carving, sandwich
boards,

Tuesday, May 15 – instant installations, again throughout the market. They
need to be installed and broken down during the market set up and closing
time frame. Faux vegetables sidling up to real ones, cut outs, posters?

Tuesday, May 22 – interactive presentations. How vegetables changed my life.
Open, unjuried, Highland Park’s own Pecha Kucha, artists will have 2 minutes
for food related presentations, No honoraria, but lots of glory.
