Art Show February 11 at the Mr. Roboto Project

Hi all,

Details are hammered out, and we have a show for you! Fun-a-Day 2012 participants will show their work for one night only, at the Mr. Roboto Project at 5106 Penn Avenue. The opening reception (snacks! drinks! art opening style!) will be from 5pm-7pm on Saturday, February 11, 2012. Come for the art and stay for the music!

The opening reception is all-ages and free!

The show is all-ages and not free, but in fact, $6, and features

• Waxahatchee (Brooklyn, acoustic, check out the demo)
• Run Forever (local folk punk)
• Adventures (Philly/Pgh punks)

If you're doing a project and haven't sent an email to funadaypgh@gmail.com, please do! I'll send out details soon about getting your completed projects to me before the show so we can prep for hanging them.

The Fate of Fun-A-Day PGH

Hey All,

So as some of you may or may not know at this point, I'm moving to Boston in mid August. While it may seem early for me to be worrying about the PGH Fun-A-Day chapter, I am. Since I didn't have a consistent partner for this year (though a bunch of awesome helpers at many integral parts of the project!!), I'm concerned about there being someone (or a group of someones) to take it over for next year.

Its not the hardest of tasks, though it does involve some flyering (both for the project, and the final show), some promotion (facebook, message boards, contacting local news outlets), coordinating (art drop offs, venue arrangements), and a few other things, though it is spread out over a few months, so its not as overwhelming as it seems typed up.

At any rate, I'm hoping to find someone soon so I can attempt to give as much advice as possible before I leave. Frankly, once I'm in Boston I'll be able to help with maybe a few questions, but I am going to be busy with school, and hopefully assisting with Boston's Fun-A-Day.

So let me know if your interested, or think you know of someone off of Facebook who would be (I'll be posting this note in other venues too). I really don't want to see this project die out just because I am leaving. It has been very rewarding over the last three years to work on it, and I think the Pittsburgh community needs it. If there ends up being more than one person interested in taking over, I'd love to hold a meeting to help coordinate people to work together!

Thanks,

Fun-A-Day

Belated Fun-A-Day wrap up

Sorry it took me so long to post anything on here! As soon as the Fun-a-Day show was over I went to Philly for a week to relax and have much needed catch up time with my friends out there (I also got to check out the part of their show that was still hanging up, it ruled!)

At any rate the show was a great success! We had a total of 15 final projects submitted, and probably around 80 or so people came to check out everyone's work!

Whole Foods was kind enough to donate an assortment of salsa, hummus, chips and cookies for everyone to enjoy and overall the whole show felt like a really great party and celebration of what everyone had worked on.

If you were unable to take your project with you the night of the show I have them safe and sound at my house and will be allowing a time over the weekend for people to come by and grab them. Later in the week once I have a better idea of my schedule I'll post one or two times on saturday and sunday for people to get their projects.

Once again thanks everyone for making Fun-a-Day 2010 another great success!
