So bring your family & friends, a lawn chair or blanket, and maybe an umbrella (: if you bring it then perhaps the rain will pass us by :)

HER A Multi-media Women's Art Show
So, those of you I actually have the chance to speak to outside the internet might know I've recently joined a new group called Sistas Sayin' Somethin' and our debut show will be next Saturday (March 20th) at The Flying Squirrel community center.
We hope to promote women artists, both by organizing performances to showcasing women artists and to raise money toward publishing multi-media anthologies with visual, written, and media-based content.
I've included all the information below. Hope to see you there!
What:
HER, an all female ART show debut, is put on by CSWA’s (Culture Starts with ART!) newest female artist support group, Sista’s Sayin’ Somethin’ (SSS).
HER is a multi-medium art show consisting of poetry, music, visual arts, and movement expression. The program showcases the Female Artistic Expression of each individual artist’s unique personal interpretation of HER.
Artists range in age from 10 yrs. and up.
CSWA is an artist’s advocacy group that strives toward world peace and happiness for all humankind through promoting and utilizing the universal language of art.
Why:
Sista’s Sayin’ Somethin’ Mission Statement
“To foster the expression of HER, we are defining HER by being HER, without limiting HER.”
Sista’s Sayin’ Somethin’ was formed for the purpose of assisting female artists: 1) to connect through their creativity, and 2) to provide a safe, supportive space in which women and girls can remain true to their unique interpretation of Female Artistic Expression and Craft. By design, SSS also seeks to pave the way for young female artists to explore creativity without judgment.
Please note: SSS is not anti men. Rather, as women artists, we simply desire to be true to our unique individual female expressions.
When:
The seasons mark the earth’s energy cycles. The powerful energy of the SSS's creative endeavors has aligned with the earth's mid-point between the coming of the light on 12/21 and the Summer Solstice in June. As we now approach spring, we awaken and experience renewal, gradually moving from dormancy and introspection to new beginnings and growth.
As such, SSS's culminating project and phenomenal female debut falls on the eve of the Spring Equinox, March 20, 2010 from 8-11pm.
Join us in this community wide celebration as we showcase and embrace HER!
Where:
Cornhill hosts this multi-medium ART show, HER, at its new community center, the Flying Squirrel, 285 Clarissa St., and it will be signed interpreted.
(This site does not currently provide wheelchair accessibility)
Cost: suggested donation – a sliding fee of $10-$15 (no one will be turned away due to lack of funds).
Proceeds will go towards SSS's upcoming publication, an anthology of multi-medium performances and projects. Called, you guessed it: HER
