AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

from LA Culture Net:

2009 was a difficult year for a lot of people. In response to the lost jobs, lost homes, major and minor tragedies, personal frustrations, heartbreak, etc., I am working on a project that called 2009 Was A Rough Year and I am hoping that you would be willing to help me.

Please visit the project website, http://aroughyear.com/home.html , to view the project.

In order to participate I would need you to:

1. Take a picture that represents the worst, most heartbreaking, or most frustrating moment you experienced in 2009.

2. E-mail it to me at 2009@aroughyear.com

3. Include as much or as little additional information as you would like.

Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested.

Thank you for your help.
