Attention All Artists and Friends of the Arts:
Women Occupy San Diego (WOSD) is hosting the event:
"Occupy OUR Arts": A Celebration of the 99% Culture and Creative Arts. The purpose of this event is to honor our First Amendment Rights through Freedom of Creative Expression.
We want to show another side of our Occupy Movement, one focused on creative arts & culture by having a fun-filled day bringing families of the 99% together. The atmosphere of our permitted event will be festive, fun, creative, interactive, and inclusive of many art forms. Occupy will reclaim Freedom Plaza (Civic Center) for the day. It will be an all day event with music, dance, theater, chalk drawing, painting, street art, sculpture, photography, a children's garden of creative arts and more.
Free Speech Soap Boxes: A Creative Opportunity for Artists!
A limited number of boxes are available to artists to be decorated, embellished and turned into works of art celebrating free speech, to be auctioned at the Occupy Our Arts Celebration event. These boxes were created for the 100th anniversary of the free speech Movement in San Diego. They are 18"x18" square, open on the bottom with 2 handholds on opposite sides. They are made of plywood with Minwax wood stain. Each ‘soap box’ has a small aluminum plate stamped with "San Diego Free Speech Fights 1912”, and a limited edition number. Fifty percent of the proceeds will go to WOSD, and fifty percent to the artist.
WOSD (Women Occupy San Diego) www.womenoccupysandiego.org wants to let every Member of the 99% Movement know that the San Diego Creative Arts Community supports everyone's right to freedom of creative expression!!!

Cirello Gallery is pleased to announce our upcoming featured artist for the month of June, Isaias Crow who is debuting his new series of portrait paintings titled SACRED MOTHER- NURTURE US. Join us for an exclusive premiere with the artist on Saturday, June 9th from 6 - 10 pm, in conjunction with North Park’s Monthly Art Walk, Ray at Night. Also join us for a special Artist's Reception and Lecture by Isaias Crow at Cirello Gallery on Saturday, June 30th, from 7-9 pm.
Witnessing the birth of his third born child, Isaias Crow came to a valuable realization: Women are powerful and magical beings. In early 2011, Isaias Crow was so inspired that he propelled a project, which encompassed 12 strong women that he had encountered through his lifetime. The project was titled WOMEN Source of Creation.
Although a very potent and successful exhibit, Crow learned that several of the attendees loved the work yet they could not get past the idea that they where looking at someone else’s energy and portrait and not a reflection of themselves. Something that Crow was hoping to deliver, “I want to share via my paintings that the person that I am capturing in a portrait painting is mirroring you, the viewer.” Crow stated.
Listening to his fans and inner intuition, Crow went back to work at his studio to further explore and experiment with this concept. An answer to this surfaced late 2011 through early 2012, C.R.O.L.O.S 2012 an acronym for Characters Rocked On Letters Of Style. In this collection, Crow used his root in Writing (or graffiti art as its commonly known) to depict patterns and energetic wavelengths as well as positive affirmations that are common in all of us, hence creating a personal portrait of not only him but the masses. This approach proved successful as the collection nearly sold out.
Now, Crow will be applying a mix of both ideologies (Women Source of Creation 2011 and CROLOS 2012) to create a very exclusive and small collection of 6 original portrait paintings titled SACRED MOTHER - Nurture Us. “ I am ready to share with the world exactly what I set out to do in 2011, the truth that we are all one, this will be clearly expressed through my new collection of work,” Crow stated. This collection will be displayed exclusively at Cirello Gallery in North Park on Saturday, June 9th, 2012 from 6pm to 10 pm. Please come see for yourself this monumental collection.
