2nd Annual Fun-A-Day In the Bay Artclash Collective West Rock Paper Scissors Collective Feb. 5th, 2010 6pm-9pm Friday, February 5th: Rock Paper Scissors hosts the Artclash Collective's second annual Fun-A-Day in the Bay. Organized by a group of Philly ex-pats, Fun-A-Day in the Bay builds on Artclash's annual tradition (6 years strong) of organizing Fun-A-Day shows in Philadelphia. Fun-A-Day is a simple concept that produces beautiful results. Participants choose a project and produce one piece of artwork every day for the entire month of January. The 31 resulting pieces create a narrative outlining each artist's journey through the first month of the year. Projects vary from lighthearted to serious, high-brow to low-brow. This year's list of mediums includes photos, drawings, paintings, dances, songs, textiles and more! The desire to create is a fundamental expression of humanity that we are often alienated from or fearful of. Fun-A-Day seeks to remove the barriers to creativity by offering opportunities and invitations for participation. We believe everyone is an artist and everything you make is art; we seek to create a welcoming forum for people to share what they do, to strengthen existing communities of artists, and to kick-start new ones. The Fun-A-Day show will be held at Rock Paper Scissors, 2278 Telegraph Ave in Oakland. RPS is “is a volunteer-run organization that fosters creativity and collaboration in order to strengthen local communities and encourage sustainable practices and alternative models”. Visit rpscollective.com for more information about the gallery. The Fun-A-Day show will be up in the gallery for the entire month of February. The show is free and all-ages and will feature performances on opening night. Come out and see what your friends (and future friends) have been up to during the first month of 2010!
