City Spit Art Show Minneapolis

March 4, 2016 by IamMoody

My good friend Teken is putting together the City Spit Art Show Minneapolis to celebrate some amazing artists. Many of these artists I know personally and own their art. If you do one thing in March please go see this show and support our local art.

News Release
02/22/2016
CWA: CITY SPIT
March 4th through March 25th
Opening Friday, March 4th, 2016 – 6pm

Inspired by Times Square Show, the legendary 1980 group, CWA: CITY SPIT will be a monumental show exhibiting some of the Twin Cities’ most interesting, talked (or whispered) about known, and unknown artists.

With a focus on social and art diversity reflecting the values of City Wide Artists, we have assembled 50+ new and known artists – and project that some major ideas and names should emerge, thus offering a thoughtful representation of the state of Twin Cities art.

With our anniversary show, we are aiming for accessibility without compromise – presenting art works ranging not only in medium and content, but also in price. We are proud to be working with artists whose price points range in the few hundred dollars to a few thousand. The goal is to get art to everyone. The sharing of creative ideas is key, but we want to encourage our community to get behind local artists in order to stimulate their careers and practice. It is the sort of artistic and economic development model that we are dedicating our space to.
Please note the updated and finalized list of artists:

IAMMPLS! 2012

November 6, 2012 by IamMoody

Musical performances by Heatbox, A. Wolf & Her Claws Hosted by Jade Tittle of 89.3 The Current Comedic performances by Nate Abshire and Ben San Del I AM MPLS! is an annual variety show celebrating and connecting passionately creative people from Minneapolis. Now in its third year, the multi-facted event integrates comedy, music, fashion, and art to form an entertaining evening based on locally grown creative pride. IAMMPLS! is about celebrating who we are, what we do, and the common bond that ties us to our fair city. IAMMPLS! was conceived by local fashion stylist, Sarah Edwards, a Minneapolis transplant, who, within a few short years of living here, has become an inspiring advocate for the city. She sees Minneapolis as a place brimming with possibility, passion, and artistic energy. After recognizing and embracing the potential within the Minneapolis creative community, Edwards took leaps and risks to make something new happen…and IAMMPLS! was born.

Domestic Abuse Project Update

December 28, 2009 by IamMoody

We received this urgent notice from our friends at Domestic Abuse Project. Because of our close association it made sense for us to help let people know. Please make sure you call the police if you encounter these people at your door.

DAP has learned of a rash of door-to-door solicitations in Minneapolis naming “Domestic Violence Project” as the fundraising organization. In one situation a donor wrote a check for $10 and her bank statement later showed the check had been altered and cashed in for $70. Often the solicitors are children.

DAP (Domestic Abuse Project) does NOT go by Domestic Violence Project nor does our organization engage in door-to-door fundraising at any time. If you receive any suspicious fundraising requests claiming DAP as a beneficiary please contact Sonia Palmer at spalmer@mndap.org or 612.874.7063 x217.

Most of us have the gift of human compassion and unfortunately at times this can be taken advantage of, especially during holidays. Some scammers try to fool people by using names that are very similar to those of well-known charities. Please don’t let this unfortunate reality close your heart or your wallet. DAP, and other organizations, need your support and your willingness to help those in need inspires us and keeps our mission alive.

As you can imagine, support is so critical to DAP at this time. We are seeing a 16% increase in women seeking help in advocacy and a 26% increase in requests for our therapy program. This stretches an already lean staff and you already know about roof problem…

Secure online donations can be made anytime at www.GiveMN.org or sent directly to:
DAP
204 West Franklin Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55404
