To: info(a)counterculturelabs.org Greetings Counter Culture Labs, My name is Tali Serota and I'm helping to produce Berkeley Spark 2.0 Arts & Innovation Festival in Berkeley this summer. I am partnering with Berkeley Startup Cluster and Jennifer Cogley thought I should reach out to you, as your company could be a great fit for this fun event! I'd like to share more about the magic my friends and I are creating here in Berkeley. Go to our website: http://berkeleyspark.org <http://berkeleyspark.org/program/> http://berkeleyspark.org/program/ Berkeley Spark is a free community-driven arts and technology festival with the goal of providing a container where people can create, collaborate and connect with each other while highlighting and celebrating local culture and community engagement through art and technology. Our intention is to be a catalyst for community engagement through dialogue, future collaborations and access to local artists and technology innovators. Below is more info and a brief history of the event.

Our intention is to be a catalyst for community engagement through dialogue, future collaborations and access to local artists and technology innovators. This year’s event will feature a number of interactive art installations, music and ecstatic dance, Burning Man-esque clothing designers, hand-crafters jewelers, a film series, a panel discussion on technology, workshops for children and adults, and local technology companies will be on-site to present their designs and innovations. We’ve also invited a number of local Burning Man theme camps to participate as well as mutant vehicle fabricators and artists from NIMBY to highlight their projects headed out to Burning Man this year. To give you some history on the event, last year John Caner, from the Downtown Berkeley Association, approached myself and a group of local East Bay leaders to Burning Man back to Berkeley. He was referring to the *How Berkeley Can You Be* art car parade that had stopped running a few years ago. Our group joined forces and in less than three months, we created Berkeley Spark and filled Civic Center Park with art, music, dance and so much more. We were thrilled at the turnout and the support we received and when we met up this spring, we decided to do it again though we felt it was important to create more of a conversation between art and technology, thus emerged Berkeley Spark 2.0. "Arc of Reflection" by Oakland artist Amy Stabler at Berkeley Spark 2013 In building upon the East Bay's thriving art and technology climate, Berkeley Spark 2.0 is also hosting the* East Bay Innovation Tech Corridor*, creating yet another avenue for community dialogue on the convergence of art, technology and science here in the East Bay. Local innovators, designer, makers, hackers, scientist and futurists will be sharing their ideas and inventions with the Berkeley Community. As part of the innovation side to the event, The Farm House (a co-living house in Berkeley, CA) will be hosting a panel discussion on the ever-evolving technological landscape here in the Bay Area and at the event, we are also hosting *Berkeley Spark** Playspace* focusing on experiential workshops for children and adults. We are grateful for the support of the Downtown Berkeley Association and the City of Berkeley's Office of Economic Development in association with Berkeley Partners for Parks, Berkeley Startup Cluster, Burning Man Project, Drakes Brewing Company, Ecology Center, Impact Hub Berkeley, The Mead Kitchen, and Urban Innovation Exchange.
