Five pianos will be placed throughout Auburn's downtown from August 1 through August 23, 2013. Artists/artist teams are offered $500 for the transformation of a piano. All pianos are upright. Alterations to the piano do not have to be permanent, but should be able to withstand outdoor weather for three weeks. The applied artwork is intended as temporary and will be removed/covered the following year. This is not a fundraiser, and pianos will not be sold following the display. Artist will be acknowledged in all media and signage associated with this program. The installation can go beyond surface treatment of the piano, but the overall design must allow 5' of passage around the piano in its public space, and must not be sharp, potentially dangerous to public and added items must be secure in its placement. To apply, send the following information by June 7, 2013, 5:00 pm to calltoartists@auburnwa.gov<mailto:calltoartists@auburnwa.gov>. Inquiries can be directed to Maija McKnight, Arts Coordinator, 253-804-5043. * Description of proposed technique/idea for piano transformation or sketch * If you have previous work that demonstrates ability/method please attach images * If you seek to paint the surface, images of 3 examples of previous artwork is required * Optional: Resume http://www.auburnwa.gov/things_to_do/arts_entertainment/call_to_artists.htm Maija McKnight City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation Arts Coordinator 253.804.5043 mmcknight@auburnwa.gov<mailto:mmcknight@auburnwa.gov> More ARTS Than You Imagined!<http://www.auburnwa.gov/arts> [facebook] Find us on Facebook!<https://www.facebook.com/#!/auburnwa.arts> The information contained in this electronic communication is personal, privileged and/or confidential information intended only for the use of the individual(s) or entity(ies) to which it has been addressed.

Hello artist friends, I have a question. Does anyone have any ideas for a space that is conducive to dinner for 75 and a theatre performance? The client is hoping for something industrial looking, an old warehouse would be perfect. Yet, we would need bathrooms and warmth. Tacoma or Olympia is fine. Thanks everyone!
