About

The Art Making Party is a monthly event at SudoRoom.

It occurs right as the First Friday Oakland Art Murmur ends. The theme switches out but the focus centers on the act of making art.

There are MCs, performers, and so on but the focus isn't on them. It is on the act of creation. The musicians act more as partners with the guests, enabling them to react and make art.

Individual Events

February 2014

This is the second art making party.


Jan 2014

January 3, 2014 - sudoroom event


This is the first snake art making party. I will post the event on the blog soon.

January 3, 2014 - we are having a post Oakland Art Murmur art making evening.

The idea is that instead of doing an art show, we will create a space for people to create art, hack on stuff, dance and perform for everyone live. It's like a Jazz musician jam. There are going to be art MC's such as James Lamaste and roller skaters like Elle Seven cheering people on, presenting videos, and playing music.

Needs

We need:

  • Art supplies, any old markers or pens you have
  • any extra electronics parts you have
  • Big rolls of paper
  • clean up, people interested in being mimes and performers

Sites
