Priority Boxes Project Turns Four!

OsideLB — Tue, 04 May 2010 16:15:14 +0000

The Priority Boxes Project is one that the Artists of Fire Mountain have

participated in. We paint and otherwise decorate cardboard US Priority mail

boxes (because they are so square and cute), print on them: FRAGILE contains

hope–or peace–or generosity–and mail them off without a return address to

friends and family. The nieces who live in dorms seemed especially taken

with this project.

So–on May 22nd, if you can’t make it to the party on the East Coast, take a

moment to think of someone you love, and eat cake, too.

The Priority Boxes Project is Turning 4 and We’re Having a Party

Please Join us in Celebrating this Milestone with Art, Cake and Cocktails

Oceanside Days of Art- April 18 & 19, 2009

OsideLB — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:21:28 +0000

17th annual Oceanside Days of Art
April 18 and 19, 2009 – 10am to 5pm

If you’ve always wanted to paint, but were afraid to try, the Oceanside Days of Art is for you!

This year the theme “Experience Your Creativity” will be played out with family-friendly participatory events including a stunning Circle Painting that the public is invited to work on. Organized by international artist Hiep Nguyen, this “paint-in” has been produced in 30 cities in 8 countries since 2007. To make reservations for your group to paint call 760/433-3632. To sponsor a painting call 760/439-7766.

Over 100 artists, both local and national, will display their painting, pottery, sculpture, glass, photography and multimedia works in booths lining Pier View Way and the Civic Center in Oceanside. Lots of live multicultural performances will take place on two stages during the two day event, including music, dance, poetry and a few surprises. The biggest high school art show in the county will also be there, a chance to view the finest of the work from local schools. And for kids, art teachers will offer free classes in painting and creating art from recycled objects. If you need inspiration before you jump in, check out the recycled and found art wonders made by local artists on display in the Library Community Rooms.

And lastly, the FOOD! From crepes and steaks to hot dogs and ice cream, there’ll be something to tickle your palate.
More than 10,000 people are expected to attend.

Don’t miss this event. It’s free, parking is easily found on nearby streets, and it’s easy to take the Coaster (on Saturday) or the Sprinter (both days). For more information, visit oceanside-days-of-art.org or call 760/433-3632.
Sponsored by Oceanside Cultural Arts Foundation.

Fire Mountain Art Sale a REAL Success!

auntkristy — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:30:55 +0000

Thanks to all who visited us–and introduced yourselves and bought art!

The turnout was fabulous–hundreds of people came to see twelve artists and to share their art and desires for workshops and studio visits. We raised enough money to keep this website alive and growing. Please let us know if you didn’t have the chance to let us know that you are an artist–or you want to make art–or want to meet with any artist in his or her studio!
