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:

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. We are looking for
creative innovative companies as yourselves who would be interested
in coming to this event for the day or even part of the day to share your
gifts and creations with the community at large.

If this feels like something that might interest you please let us know as
spaces are filling and we would love to have you there.

Thanks so much for your time and consideration and look forward to hearing
from you.

Cheers and a great day,

 *Berkeley Spark Info:*

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.  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.
