AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Cityworks Design is seeking up to four artists who have a history working on the Eastside to join their Preliminary Design Team on the Eastside Access Project, a Measure R funded project intended to use urban design to enhance the streetscape and improve linkages for four Metro Gold Line Stations and their surrounding neighborhoods.

The selected artist(s) will use their expertise and knowledge of the local community to identify public art opportunities while adding their artistic influence to the conceptual design of elements in the public right of way. These ideas should be reflective of the local community, buildable and easy to maintain.

Greetings,

I work with 350.org, an international climate campaign with a flair for the dramatic. On 10/10/10 we coordinated over 7000 community-building, carbon-mitigating actions in 188 countries for our Global Work Party. Now, in the run up to the next round of UN negotiations which will be held in Cancun, Mexico beginning the weekend of Thanksgiving we are working to pull off an ambitious global art initiative.

We are really excited about an art event that will be happening in LA this Sunday, November 21.

Do you have a stockpile of plastic bags taking up storage space in your place? I will be glad to take them off your hands if you send me an email:
antoniaaperez@gmail.com

I have been making art with used plastic bags for the past seven years. This is part of my commitment help stop plastic pollution of the planet. For more information about how plastic pollution has reached dangerous proportions
and must be stopped, view this short video on TED talks:
