Fun-A-Day is a call to artists, non-artists, want-to-have-funners, and anybody willing to try something new to challenge themselves during the wintery month of January. The rules are simple: participants were asked to pick a project of their choosing and attempt to complete one per day for every day in January. Some people painted 31 paintings. Some people choreographed 31 dances, some people photographed 31 of their lunches. The rules are not binding and any attempt is welcome to be exhibited. Please join us between 7pm and 11pm to view and experience the myriad of ways people had fun during the month of January. In addition to the wonders of visual and performative pieces that are part of this art movement, we’ll also have live entertainment by: The Gloaming (Jonathan Merrifield’s latest electro-dance music sensation. Ex-members of the 500′s, Strawberry Allstars, as well as current members of Whole Foods, the supermarket) Roomful of Guns (Thithy Bwown’s triumphant name change; acoustic throw-back punk notes. Songs penned by Patrick Corrigan, Jon Joslin) The show is free..donations are welcomed but not mandatory. We’ll be serving light hor’s devours as well as wine of two colors. Also welcome to bring your own wine or beer of whatever persuasion.” For more information about Fun-A-Day, as a national event, it’s history, etc, please visit the Artclash Website: http://artclash.com « Back to the calendar Described as “a window into the spirit of an artist looking for change,” the 12 short films by Jim Helton that make up Love Kills Demons explore the world of artist Chris Rubino‘s through beautiful photography and with the aid of a soundtrack by Maine’s own Big Blood.
