ART 180's Change for a Ten

Happy Earth Day...Bada-Bing

2009-04-15T16:31:00.001-04:00

HAPPY EARTH DAY...BADA-BING
Why not continue the Valentine's Day/Easter pattern and celebrate another holiday with chocolate? We've just come out with some bodaciously beautiful bars. We'll be hawking them for $10 donations at Richmond's Earth Day celebration this Saturday (4/18), 10am-4pm in Manchester's Warehouse District (south end of the 14th Street Bridge), home of ART 180 HQ. Click here for more information about Earth Day Richmond.

Can't come Saturday? You can find us on Sunday at the Richmond Craft Mafia's Spring-Bada-Bing. Providing yet another excuse to come to Manchester, "the boss of all craft shows" will be at Plant Zero from 11am-4pm on Sunday (4/19).

Check out these new designs, selected 'specially for Mama Earth:

Save the Earth by Maddy Frataneangela

Please Don't Pollute by Samantha Crouch

Treasure Our Environment Now by Sidney Lyda

Think Green by Lisa Kellner

Recycle by Lindsay White

Even though it's not environmental (depending on how you look at it, of course), we thought it was just too perfect not to turn this one into a candy bar:

See all the candy bars we've created here: http://changeforaten.blogspot.com

If you're hibernating this weekend (or hitting the road), visit these awesome local spots next week to get your chocobars:
For the Love of Chocolate (Carytown)
Mongrel (Carytown)
Quirk Gallery (Gallery District on Broad)
Crossroads Art Center (Staples Mill)
and the newest outlet, J. Emerson Fine Wines & Cheese at 5716 Grove Ave. (near Libbie)

AND WHILE YOU'RE EATING THAT CHOCOLATE...

...and feeling good about having supported ART 180 and helping to give young people a voice through art, mark May 20th on your calendar. That's the date of The Big Show, when we'll showcase the work of all the kids in our programs. You won't want to miss it.

More Chocolate!

2009-03-01T20:41:00.001-05:00

We just got a whole new batch of gourmet chocolate goodness wrapped in art for your tasting and collection. Look for new designs at Quirk Gallery (311 West Broad Street) and in Carytown at Mongrel and For the Love of Chocolate. $10 for milk or dark chocolate (and thanks again to For the Love for sharing the love, through chocolate). Remember: buy 4 and get a 5th one free...You can never have too much chocolate, you know.

Look for these new wrapper designs:

"Video Game Paradise" by Beth Varni

"Happy Bob" by Jared Jenkins

"Love What You Can Do" by Heilbron Rushing-Cooper

CHANGE FOR A TEN - TAKE 2

2009-02-03T17:14:00.001-05:00

This year we're launching the "sequel" to Change for a Ten by amplifying the collected voices for change in the community.

Join us this Friday, February 6th, 7-10pm at Ghostprint Gallery (220 W. Broad St.). In conjunction with the launch of their Midseason Arts Issue, we're partnering with Style Weekly to showcase 10 of their distribution boxes that have been transformed by local artists to reflect themes of CHANGE. See these way-cool public artworks together in one place for one night only, before they make their way out into the world!

You can even take some dollars home...in a fun new format. We created Change for a Ten candy bar wrappers featuring a few timely and love-themed art dollars. Then we hooked up with our friends at For the Love of Chocolate, who generously donated gourmet chocolate bars (milk AND dark) to wrap them around. We'll be selling these lovely art bars for $10 at Ghostprint on the 6th, conveniently 8 days before Valentine's Day, so pick 'em up for your sweetie, your boss, your aunt, your child's teacher, your pet sitter, etc. They'll adore you, and we'll adore you. And if you can't make it on the 6th, the bars will be available after then at For the Love of Chocolate (Carytown), Quirk Gallery (311 W. Broad), and through ART 180.

See more dollars in the window of Radio Richmond, a block away at 308 W. Broad St. Then walk down the street to the Legal Aid Justice Center at 2nd and Broad, where we're displaying artwork by the young people in three of our fall 2008 programs. Marvel at their beautiful stained glass (Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club), laugh at their clever comics (St. Andrew's School), and check out their one-of-a-kind, self-expression T-shirts (Friends Association for Children).

Following this week’s election, some of the ideas for change made during our Change for a Ten campaign are already becoming reality. Take a look.

And if you'd like to contribute to the ART 180 campaign, just email 180@art180.org.
For $10 one of these could be yours....

Change for a Ten Aftermath

2008-10-16T21:48:00.009-04:00

THANK YOU
to all of you who helped make our 10th anniversary party such a whopping success. The turnout was just swell, and it was a high-energy evening.Thanks for celebrating with us, for making dollars, for believing that art can create change.

For those of you who wanted to get an art dollar but didn't, don't worry there will be more opportunities (we'll keep you posted). For now, check this blog (http://www.changeforaten.blogspot.com) and let us know which ones you see that you want and we'll let you know if they're still available (180@art180.org). We will be continuing to add more in the weeks to come! With a donation to ART 180 they can be yours... AND, stay tuned as we begin planning for "Phase 2."

Now, with 2,600+ art dollars something had to go wrong...well 19 things, actually. In the mad dash to get all the entries scanned, cataloged, bagged, labeled and exhibited, we forgot to pick up 19 impressive little works o' art that were waiting for us at Crossroads Arts Center. For that, we feel terrible. The good news is that ALL of you (even those who couldn't attend on 10-10) now have the chance to see them. They couldn't be a better batch -- diverse issues, incredible talent, true passion. So with a special thank you to teacher Cindy McNamara and her Hanover High Talent, here they are:

Christina Melton, Society's Pain

Kim Leonard,Conservation

Ruthie Chen, Beauty is Only Skin Deep

Taylor Lacey, Fill in the Blank

Jessica Burnett, Flower Power

Joe Jarrells, Get Active

Sivanh Keovongphet, Bloodshed

Anna Gordon, Why?

Kathryn Mayes, Empathy

Casey Crabtree, Shine Some Light

Pagie Tatum, Disconnect

Jessica Gooden, Top Dollar

Curran Henry, Why Can't We Be Friends?

Meredith Bond, What Are We Doing?

Dani Price, Clean it Up!

Raven McCarter, Get Out!

Eliza Craymer,Top Priority

Travis Miles, Depression

Meghann Sayles, The New Black

thanks!

2008-10-12T18:59:00.001-04:00

to all of you who helped make friday (10-10!) such a success.
we hope you had a blast at the party and enjoyed the more than 2,600 dollars we collected.
now, if you don't mind, we are going to take a little break, catch up on a few sleepless nights and then move on to phase 2 (a book! and maybe more!)

so this site maybe dormant a few days but don't worry we have lots more art dollars to show you so check back in soon....

and again, thank you.
