CAMP CAFE, 3/20/08, 7pm
You are cordially invited to the CAMP CAFE to be held at CAMP, 3026 Cherokee St. The CAFE is the "Capitalist Art and Food Experience." No friends ... we're not really interested in supporting capitalist exploitation, but our first winter open has brought on sizable heating bills, along with very large, unexpected building expenses running into the $thousands.
Featured Performances:
Na-do's Delight, peformances @ 7:30 and 8:30
Fireflies, acro yoga performance troupe
Michael Franklin, spoken word
This fundraiser will support the general CAMP fund, especially for keeping us warm during the last stretch of winter and supplies we will need to get our garden and other programs started again as spring approaches. Look below for what we were up to during the past winter!
This fundraiser will also feature a silent art action, with auction proceeds being shared between CAMP and the contributing artists.
We will be serving coffee, tea, homemade kombucha and a number of other delicious things for you to nibble on.
So far artist & contributors include: BoiBella, Na-do's Delight, Michael Franklin, Fair Ophelia Designs, the Fireflies, Larva-Lou, Ms. Leanne Mead, Pete Stein, et al.
