La Mesa: Alliance for California Traditional Arts Salon Join ACTA and Red Poppy Art House on Friday, April 2, 2010, in an intimate evening of sharing at La Mesa ("the table" in Spanish), our first FREE traditional arts salon featuring the work of culture bearers in our own backyards who are current or former artists in ACTA's programs. The evening will highlight several world-class artists up close and personal sharing and talking about their art. Featured artists including Native Californian Pomo basketmaker Elaine M. Quitiquit; Tibetan musician, vocalist and composer Techung; and classical Chinese erhu musician Xiaofeng Zhang with her apprentice Eric T. Jung, along with special guests. At 7:00 pm, preceding the salon at 8:00 pm, traditional artists, traditional arts organizations and community groups are welcome to an open roundtable to brainstorm and share feedback on your most burning issues as a traditional arts advocate. Whether you are experienced or green, this facilitated group dialogue offers a chance to vet and share your questions, ideas and concerns with other thoughtful colleagues. Light refreshments provided. RSVP strongly recommended as space is limited. Contact Sherwood Chen at (415) 346-3800 or via email. ACTA's Traditional Arts Roundtable Series is made possible in part by generous support from the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation and the San Francisco Arts Commission Cultural Equity Grants Program. Additional support provided by the California Arts Council. |
