Fwd: Davis Makerspace in September ArtAbout and possibly ARTober

[Nicholas Weigand]

So below is a message I received from Sandy Thai (the ArtAbout coordinator
over at the DDBA, also co owner of Rockband University in town) who was
really enthusiastic about DMS and also very helpful despite my
procrastination.  It sounds like they could be a great publicity channel
for us!  I had suggested we do some Halloween themed projects for Artober,
and one suggestion was that we 3d print some skulls and then have people
install LEDs in them.  Tim suggested doing vacuum form masks which I think
is a great idea.  Is this something people would like to do?  As you'll see
below she has offered us space on the E Street plaza for the Dia de los
Muertos festival on Oct. 31st (which coincides with the Treat Trail).  I
know that Jordan and the other parents can attest to the wide attendance at
that event.

Any thoughts?

Such a small world! Yes, we are still on Olive and just took over Suite L
for our recording studio. Thanks for the info.

You guys are all set for September (unless you have an image you'd like to
include).

I told Nina about your skull/LED light idea for ARTober and she also loves
it. She wanted me to check with you guys to see if you'd be interested in
doing that particular project for our El Dia de los Muertos Festival. On
October 31, we have Treat Trail and a large dia de los muertos event at the
E Street Plaza that will feature a large, artist created altar, live music,
poetry, dance performances, etc... Nina said that you guys could have a
table there to promote your space and show an example of the LED skull,
then invite everyone to come to your workshop after the event to take part.
What do you think?

The vacuum form project also sounds great. It would be awesome to have you
guys featured for multiple days. Thanks for all your ideas and getting into
the ARTober spirit!
