Wanna know about GLOW?

Hello everyone,

Thanks to those who have stepped up as chairs for the summer show! Don't worry, we still need more people, so you can volunteer this week too. This is a great opportunity for you to gain some experience and meet lots of people.

Oh, don't forget this weekend is the TN Sales Tax Holiday;
April 25-27.

www.tntaxholiday.com

We are currently looking for a venue for our summer show. We are following a few leads, but we also need to hear any ideas you may have.
Find venue information here:
http://untitlednashville.org/pages/venues.htm

Please keep an eye out for news of a meeting location change in the next couple weeks! Our recent home, Kazu, is closing soon. :(

Meeting: Wednesday, April 23; 7:30pm

This week:

+ GLOW SHOW TEAM
Click here to tell us how you want to get involved with GLOW!
This week is your chance to step up and help out with the planning of the GLOW show. Those who attend this week's meeting will have first dibs on the chair positions.

The GLOW show is our annual fundraiser and it needs to be well planned in order to be successful. Why are we starting so early? Because there's lots to do and with the summer show around the corner, we don't want to forget about the art party of the summer.

The GLOW team has a lot of planning flexibility and can decide many things to make it a fun and successful show. The GLOW team will hold meetings outside of the weekly meetings. Learn more about GLOW here:
http://untitlednashville.org/glow

+ SUMMER SHOW TEAM
Thank you to those who volunteered to be the chairs for the summer show last week!
We're still looking for some extra smart leaders to make the next show happen.
Interested? Come to the meeting or email us to find out more. In the meantime, check out the Volunteer Guide to learn about what you can help with:
http://untitlednashville.org/volunteer.htm

Here's what we have and need:
PR Master: you?
Installation Captains: Marty Motola & Katie Calico
Curators Extraordinaire: Ayjey & Randy McQuien Jr
Hospitality Expert: Sammie Kightlinger
Clean-up Guru: Dawn Brusseau
Artists' Liaison: you?

Remember, we can't have a show without leaders.
Untitled needs you. Also, you will get a link to your website (if you choose) on the home page of the Untitled website and wherever else your name is posted as a chair.
Most of the chair positions do not require any experience! It would be good however, for you to have helped with installation to volunteer for installation chair and curator.

Remember, ALL artists are welcome. Please join us. We hope to see you there!

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...
Visit the UP page on the website for updates after the meeting:
http://untitlednashville.org/up.htm

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