Looking for Workshop Instructors in the ARTS

2007-03-08T16:47:24Z

Hello Ladies,
If any of you would like to teach a workshop this summer in West Texas (of all places!) please contact me asap. Whatever your fancy is - off the top of my head, I'm thinking ceramics, photography, painting, stained glass, etc. etc. By hook or crook, this will be a paying gig. We will also be in need of instructors in the Fall. Workshops can run a few days to a week, or two, dependent upon your needs. Please send your resume, a url to your website (if you have one), and a paragraph or two describing the workshop you are interested in teaching to: lisa@drakaarts.org

We will be based in Marfa, a lovely little town with a lot of Donald Judd in it, and the lovely national park of Big Bend just 80 miles south and oh so close to the border of ol'Mexico. And, yes, there are hot springs down the road a piece, plus the "mysterious" Marfa LIGHTS! Check out: http://www.marfatx.com It's a place where we can be artsy cowgirls in the old wild west of Texas.

Artist-in-Residence Program details to be announced real soon.

Free Car - ArtCar?

2005-05-16T23:22:19Z

We have a 1993 BlueGreen Saturn SL2 for *~FREE~* in Oakland. Perfect to use for an artcar or whatever. Come get it and its yours!

*My BF had attempted to donate it to a charity, but the title is missing and it would cost $200 or so to get another copy from out of state. So this car comes with no title (unless you feel like paying for it).
*Currently doesn't run - doesn't turn over. Quite likely just needs a new starter (and probably new battery - it has been sitting for awhile) - Otherwise has been quite reliable with only one owner.
*Minor Body Damage and interior is a bit roughed up

BLM tryin' 2 block BB

2005-05-03T04:46:14Z

It's a drag... In case you haven't received the news via email - the gory details are as follows and at www.burninbush.org:

[Burnin'Bush] Update: This year's Permit; BLM & Black Rock Politics

This summer's BB festivities MAY BE CANCELED due to BLM Red Tape & Black Rock Politics —

The Bureau of Land MANagement is requiring Burnin'Bush to pay $6700 up front in "Recovery Costs" in lue of $4/per person per day for a Special Recreation Permit. BB is also now required to purchase liability insurance for all attendees while on public land for 2-3 days. Icing on the cake - we have been informed that Law Enforcement will also be ever-present, and include federal, state, and county levels.

Not only is this absurd, we absolutely CAN NOT afford such ridiculous costs for a weekend of our family and friends camping, making art, and metal banging in the desert! Last year Burnin'Bush brought in approximately $2,000 in donations and still BB didn’t pay for itself.

Thus far, we have been very cooperative with the BLM - We provided them with the Operating Plan they requested, and have met several times to discuss the possibility of having the permit fees waived due to the fact that we are a Not For Profit educational group/happening - All to no avail.

The restrictions being imposed by the BLM contradict all that BB stands for on this lovely patriotic holiday. What has happened to celebrating freely in the land of the free? Bureaucratic Bullshit... The BLM has also admitted the obvious, this is the trickle down effect of BM POLITICS on the Black Rock Desert. No matter what size a gathering, entertainment on any level in this area has to pass the approval of the public, and [specifically] the Burning Man organizers — see the Red Tape Letters link on the BB website.

Next step? We either comply (and charge everyone in advance) or find a new place! We're not interested in going into the festival business, we just want to inspire with fire, eat hot dogs, make art, and keep Burnin'Bush FREE! Any leads to a possible private locale would be appreciated - please contact topazrose@burninbush.org
Thank you.

welding for women

2004-12-20T19:45:11Z

I remember years ago being told about a free women's welding class. I would like to learn to weld (or at least I think that I would like it!) but can't afford the Crucible's steep prices being a Canadian who can only work under the table here and in small spurts when it happens.

Any details anyone?

Artists vs. BM.org

2004-12-11T03:33:05Z

Some of you may or may not be following the latest petition to Burning Man regarding ART...

the We Have a Dream petition is at:
http://www.odeonbar.com/petition/1/petition.php?do=do_sign

Larry Harvey's initial response to the petition is at:
http://www.burningman.com/art_of_burningman/petition_response.html

The battle commences under various topics at:
http://bm.tribe.net/

I would like to express to Jim and BM that the Sisterhood of the Burnin'Bush is in support of many of the ideas brought to light in the petition, but I wanted to run this request by you all first.

I look forward to hearing your responses.

come celebrate our third anniversary and where we'll be

2004-08-21T04:03:31Z

Hi everyone!
Since our plans to meet pre-playa or at BBush fell through I just wanted to invite y'all to our third wedding anniversary party! I can't believe that it's been three years... wow! We will also be celebrating Khat Bleu and Tiger's first anniversary (Lisa and John).

Friday night after 9:30pm come by Blyss Abyss (www.blyssabyss.org), which used to be a large pink lotus and looks like this year will transform into a crashed out Saturn located at Mercury and 3:30

Otherwise, come and visit Andrew and I at the Artery camp right in the Center Camp circle. I'll be working from 9am to 2pm Mon-Wed and we're camped just behind the artist check in just a couple doors down from Arctica, so no excuse not to come find us! We'll also be dining with Blyss Abyss nightly, so that is a good place to find us as well.

Big love!
*steph and andrew*

Where are all the Art Cars?

2004-07-13T16:26:27Z

Where are all the Art Cars? I was at Burning Bush this weekend and there was VERY FEW Art Cars out on the Playa this year.

I was super bummed out for the people in GERLACH. We stopped in town on the way out on July 4th and kids and families were lined up along the road waiting to see Art Cars (someone put out flyers/and it happened last year). We were eatin' in the cafe and everyone was discussing - whether they were coming? By 2:45 people started packing up to leave. No Art Cars. I was super bummed for the kids - sitting out their with their
flags etc.

I also have not had much response back from people who are planning to bring out their Mutant Vehicles for the SHOW N' TELL on July 25th. www.bayareamotorclub.com/Events.html
I had a lot more response for the April event.

Is it because everyone is WAY TO BUSY working on their cars?, or waiting to see if Burning Man approves their plans etc. for cars before even starting? Does anyone have any feedback to what's so diffrent in the world of Art Cars this year? I am curious....

P.S. GOOD THING TO KNOW: The Gas station in Gerlach has now made thier GAS PUMPS 24 HOURS!!!!!!

Where were you camped @ Burning Bush!?

2004-07-06T02:52:00Z

Another question I have is WHERE WERE YOU AT? I knew a lot of my friend were suppose to be at Burning Bush but for varying reasons people ended up camping ALL OVER THE PLACE! It took forever to narrow down where various people were camping, than trying to find them in the middle of the night HUH! What a joke.

People were camped in Blue Wing, Trego, and on the BM Playa. There was/is varying RUMORS of why/how people became so split-up. It was a bit of a bummer considerinng there was a lot of people I wanted to hang-out with and spending a half n- hour on dirt roads to do so was exhausting BUT we did it. Some people actually relocated to try to merge the various groups - but it was hard to decide which way to go...

Anyone have any thoughts about why this year was so incongruous? Seems like a lot of people had some varying impressions of what to expect. One i.e. was some people had thought DRAKA was going to be there and were surprised to find out it was still out of state...

inspiration

2004-07-05T21:37:51Z

I'd like to hear what inspires women of the BB to make a visual statement.

To start off, what inspires me is where I observe God/Goddess in nature, i.e. the sacred geometry of the natural world and it's reflection in the human body.

2004-06-29T02:20:20Z

I'm heading up to Gerlach late Friday the 1st or first thing Saturday the 2nd from the Bay Area, with a stopover at my mom's in Sacto.

Gas will probably be around $20-25 per person. Will return home MOnday night or first thing Tuesday to be in Oakland by noon.

CALLING ALL WOMEN FOR DAY OF PROTEST MARCH 20TH

2004-03-10T20:44:02Z

This is a call to all women in San Francisco who want to participate in a theatrical political action for peace. We need women (and symptathetic men) to dress or be painted in one fo the following colors: RED, WHITE, BLUE. I encourage everyone to come as their favorite American hero or character while sporting the color scheme.

This is a day of mobilization and protest against the Bush Administration's idiocy and hawkish government. The demonstration is taking place in San Francisco and will be happening simultaneously around the country, and world. Contact me for details about action.

Tribe Viability

2004-01-29T21:28:14Z

I'm fairly new to this tribe thing, but it seems to me that if no one is posting, the tribe is moribund. I'm reviewing my memberships and clearing out the dead wood. I like the concept of this tribe, but it ain't hardly breathing. The only sign of life is the gallery. C'mon folks, communicate!
