Public performance this week! And a special guest at the meeting...

Hello everyone,

Thanks to everyone who came to last week's Membership Planning Meeting! Our little section of Kazu was packed! Thanks to everyone who expressed your ideas and those who have stepped up to help make this a great year for Untitled!

We are currently looking for a venue for our summer show.
We do have a venue for the GLOW show. We will be returning to Limelight!

Also, thanks to Untitled member Sammie Kightlinger for passing out gift cards for Jerry's Artarama at last week's meeting! Who knew you could get free art supply gift cards by just showing up at a meeting? Thanks Jerry's!

This week is our first group performance! Please plan to meet at the 1st Saturday Gallery Crawl to help make this a fun and successful performance. Details below!

Next week is our Summer show title meeting. Don't miss it!

UP (GROUP PERFORMANCE)

Now simply called UP. [Untitled Performers]

GENERAL INFO:

Who? ... any members of the Untitled Artists Group of Nashville, of any social demographic or creative medium

What? ... anonymous (for now) performances in random public places approximately on a monthly basis hitting venues known to be populated more than usual with lots of people, leaving the crowd with a feeling of curiosity and a general 'what-on-earth-was-that' kind of feeling

When? ... approximately every month, dates to be voted on at one of the weekly Untitled Artists Group meetings

Where? ... local Nashville/Metro greater area venues to be selected and voted on by UP participants at one of the weekly Untitled Artists Group meetings

How? ... with minimal planning and lots of crazy, creative motivations

Why? ... because Nashville deserves it and we have to get all that creative performance energy out of our systems somehow!


CURRENT PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:

At this past meeting our first group performance was voted on. The place and time are APRIL 5th, Saturday night at 8pm at the Arcade downtown (during the Art Crawl). It was also agreed that keeping our identities anonymous, at least for now, is appropriate, like a building of momentum and mystery type of thing. For the sake of keeping it a mystery, we will call this public performance "Marching Musical Paper Bags" and if you want to participate come to the Wednesday night meeting at 7:30. Bring with you a paper bag, and if you can, a pair of scissors and bright neon/flourescent paint that will be luminous at night. This bag will be your self-expressed head- dress/art for the performance.

If you are not able to attend the painting fun at the meeting on Wed then decorate your paper bag accordingly and buy a cheap kazoo at Dollar Tree or a similar store and show up around 7:30 at the Arcade and look for other UA members.

NOTE: Also during this coming meeting we will agree on a meeting place at the Arcade on Sat and finalize the actual performance details. So, stay tuned...

Loved seeing all you this past Wed. at the meeting, all so eager to participate! Thank you! This is going to be fun!
