Arts and Cultural Information in Fresno City and County

Ok everybody...we are the smartest and most creative people I know...lets figure out what WE, the Fresno Art Community, is going to do for California Art Day!!

Let's figure out something for October 3rd (as that is a Satruday and the day most of the California Art Day events will be held around the state).

Suggestions?

How about a week long Arts Festival! Planning has begun for just this thing in Reedley!! Kick off will be at noon on California Art Day, October 2nd. Each day will celebrate a different type of art...visual, music, dance, culinary, graffiti, even marshal arts...there will be all types of events focusing on all types of art.

If you would like to be a participating artist in this festival...get in touch with me.

I expect the turn out for the weekend portion of the event...minimum 10,000 people each day!

Reedley is only 25 minutes from downtown Fresno. Not that far away.

We got to have a meetup of some sort. Anything we come up with will be fully supported by the Fresno Arts Council.

Maybe we could do a touring Arts Festival hosted by different Fresno County cities each year... The Arts Festival this year would be hosted by Reedley...

Since art hop is October 1, California Arts Day is the 2nd, and it appears there are events around the state on the 3rd, let's go for at least a Thursday - Sunday event. We have plenty of art venues and artists in Fresno we should be able to do something great over several dates to allow for the various areas in Fresno.

Keep me informed.

I don't see any ideas being thrown out here about California Arts Day...so I'm challenging artists to contact a school, elementary, Jr. High, High school, JC, or college and organize an activity, then let me know about it. I will keep a log and post them on the state's planned event log for California Arts Day and contact media as events are scheduled. Who knows, we might even get coverage.

If you are not interested in working with a school, create another event. We have 1,000+ members here. In a time when the arts are being cut from budgets, let's make ourselves known to the community. We have the numbers and we have the talent to make Fresno a place for the arts, not just visual, but performing arts too.

I look forward to hearing from you.

If we can swing it, I would love to see the first edition of Fresno Arts Magazine launched Oct. 1 for fall edition. The mag would highlight what's happening during the California Arts Week... Some copies will be distributed during ArtHop.

This is way out there...but what about an fine art fair on the grassy median from Shields to Weldon. Its grassy, shady, people walk their dogs daily and the big well known Princnton, Harvard, Simpson etc block sales, many years old, have made people familiar with this area .
