THIS SATURDAY JULY 24TH!
Corita Art Silkscreen Mash Up 2-5pm

Use the POP prints of Corita Kent artist, activist, teacher, nun! This Saturday you have the rare opportunity to make your own prints from the original art of Corita Kent.

In the late 1960s, Corita was the covergirl (literally, on Newsweek Magazine) of the "changing nun." For the first time ever, we're taking elements of the provocative and profound POP art by this "rebel with a paintbrush" and recombining them in our own way. Posters, Tee Shirts, Tote Bags, Stretched Canvas all yours to experiment with Corita's bold graphics, intense colors and pithy phrases. Items to screen priced from $10 - $50. All proceeds go to the Corita Art Foundation.

Sponsored in conjunction with Fresh Pressed Silkscreen, Gelato Bar, and Primrose Organics Hair Salon, this will be an afternoon of artmaking with a live DJ and special surprises. This event is part of the 40th anniversary celebration of the Immaculate Heart Community Corita's former order of nuns who claimed their independence from the Catholic Church in 1970 and continue to live by their consciences today with charitable programs for the elderly, underserved minority youth, women and girls in transition, affordable housing, healthcare and education. Visit www.corita.org or www.immaculateheartcommunity.org for more information.

This month we are setting up some live screenprinting, so bring your old shirts, worn skirts, leather jackets, or whatever else you want printed on!

There is nothing better than kicking it on a warm Summer night with friends, music, art and a good atmosphere. That's why we are opening up our studio the last Sunday of every month this Summer. Each month we will feature new works of art by up and coming as well as established local artists. There will be DJs, food, and drinks. Don't be shy, get some friends together and come hang out.

The DJ sets up at 6pm, come early if you're hungry, stay late for fun with good people. All art work displayed is created our customers. If you have any interest in displaying your work at one of our monthly shows email us
