<![CDATA[welcome<br />to the<br />ART SWAP!<br /> - Blog]]>Fri, 06 Apr 2012 23:37:08 -0600Weebly<![CDATA[happy spring from the art swap team!]]>Fri, 06 Apr 2012 22:58:49 -0600http://www.iceartswap.com/1/post/2012/04/happy-spring-from-the-art-swap-team.htmlGreetings Swap Friends!

How have you been?

We are starting to feel the swap itch, and are beginning to scheme up some swapping for later this year. Stay tuned here, or follow us on facebook or twitter, where we'll post any events, fun swap links, and the occasional "vintage" swap photo. 

Did you make it out to the shanties this winter?  What was your favorite?  We were sad not to be out there, but were too geographically scattered to make it happen--Angela just back from India, Julie heading off to China, and Dana out in sunny LA.  A couple of us did sneak onto the ice for a visit, and it was a fantastic shanty village this year!  The spinning sphere, the government agencies, the giant robot, the pinbox camera helmets--awesome!

Happy Spring!

--the art swap team

P.S.  Don't forget we've posted helpful info to help you run your own swap! If you do, please send us some pics and details. We'd love to share them!

P.P.S. Is anyone reading this in Shanghai?  Julie wants to set up a swap there!

We are unable to do the swap this winter, due to overseas travels and other exciting diversions.  HOWEVER, if any of you awesome swappers want to make an application & take the reins of this super-fun mid-winter project, we'd be happy to pass on all our knowledge. (and those of us in town may be able to assist.)

Write iceartswap@gmail.com if you want us to connect you with other interested people.  (and read the Art Shanty Projects proposal info below--deadline is right around the corner!

Sorry we didn't post this sooner,  we spen ;)

Here's the scoop from the ASP:

Art Shanty Projects has taken this year off the ice, but that doesn't mean loyal fans need go cold turkey! On Saturday, February 12, we'll be hosting an indoor party in the North Loop to raise funding for 2012 and unveil exciting plans for the future of the project.

Join organizers, long-time artists and fellow fans for food, drinks, entertainment and great company. This is an intimate opportunity to meet the artists off the ice ...and to get a snapshot of the on-ice experience without having to bundle up!

Here's just a taste of what to expect:

♥ Snack on yummy fare from the ArtCar Taxi Shanty!
♥ Show your love in our photo booth!
♥ Bring art to exchange at the Art Swap Shanty!
♥ Break hearts in the Dance Shanty!
♥ Make hearts (valentines) at the Postal Shanty!
♥ Snag a limited-edition Art Shanty shirt or print your own!

$15-$25 suggested donation
(Help us get back on the ice)

Parking available: TractorWorks Parking Ramp 900 Washington Avenue North, side streets free, meters on Washington

Saturday, February 12th
in the evening
801 Washington building
(more details to come)

We will be there and ready for your swap action...and rumor has it the Dance Shanty will be there, too!

See you in a month!
