AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Los Angeles County Arts Commission's Musicians Roster Program Now Accepting Applications

Attention Musicians: The Los Angeles County Arts Commission is
seeking Los Angeles County-based musicians to apply to the Musicians
Roster, the only comprehensive online directory of professional music
groups in the region. The Musicians Roster was designed for the Free
Concerts in Public Sites Program, which provides free concerts to
community venues throughout Los Angeles County and pays musicians a
performance fee at rates comparable to those established by the Music
Performance Fund. It is also an important resource for the community
at-large to access the rich and diverse pool of musical talent
available in Los Angeles County.

UMAMI: food and art festival, 2010
New York City

http://www.umamifestival.com

Umami: food and art festival in New York brings together artists and food
professionals who use food as a medium to present multi-sensory experiences
in the theatre, gallery, or dining room. Choosing food as a common thread
creates new ways to look at and integrate art into daily life, and uses
artistic expression to think about food and its role in society.

Last years’ festival included performances, film and video, artists’ books
and visual arts in conjunction with artist/chef roundtables, panels,
culinary tastings and workshops. Our extensive schedule at Roulette in Soho,
brought culinary professionals, food scholars, artists and lovers of food

Two versions: the next one is darker.

Please join us on Sunday, March 1, 2009 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm for a discussion with artists Barbara Carrasco, John Valadez, Elizabeth Perez and J. Michael Walker regarding their current works in our "Intensidad" exhibition.

Barbara Carrasco creates small concentrated bites of intense, yet delicate, drawings. J. Michael Walker, fresh from his one-man exhibition at the Autry National Center makes a 180 degree turn from his Saints series by exhibiting a large colored pencil nude of unusual beauty. Elizabeth Perez's portraits of tattooed people introduces us to a defiant sub-culture. John Valadez, always on point, exhibits his series on the dance of the matador. Please join us for what should be a lively discussion.

When: Sunday, March 1, 2009 from 3-5 pm
