West Wall Mural at Warehouse 21

2011-05-05T12:30:00.003-06:00

Warehouse 21 was approached by artist Anne Staveley a local photographer. She was inspired by ultra inspiring artist JR who is always stretching the possibilities and using art to inspire, educate, and make everyone that comes into contact with his art think and stand back in amazement.

I know that after watching the video that Anne sent to me through email ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PAy1zBtTbw&feature=player_embedded) I was left truly inspired. JR works with the idea that art is able to make a difference. To me this has to be the most powerful realization any artist can make. That what they make, what they are creating can help to break down barriers, make people think, and make the differences between people smaller.

We just had the exhibition for the West Wall temporary mural and there was a great turn out. The mural was put onto the Warehouse 21 wall with wheat paste and a little trial and error. This project has also gotten a great amount of press and I wanted to share the links with everyone :)

2011-03-18T15:22:00.001-06:00

For all you Warehouse 21 supporters out their who love to ski or snowboard, be sure to check out Tessa's Ascesion this Sunday, March 20th, the endurance ski race and benefit held each year at the Santa Fe Ski Basin. The event is a memorial to Tessa Horan, a former ski patroller who lost her life while serving in the Peace Corps. in 2006. Each year the money raised is donated to an organization working in the one of the areas most important to Tessa: childhood education, care for the environment, and humanitarian work. This year, Warehouse 21 is proud to be to the beneficiary of this event, with the money raised helping to fund our summer landscaping project. We encourage anyone interested in supporting us to participate in the race, which begins at 5:30pm. There is a free dinner for racers, lots of prizes, and new this year is a "mini-ascension" for kids 12 and under. For registration, visit their website: http://www.sfpatrol.org/id26.html or if you are interested in volunteering during the event, contact eliza@warehouse21.org to sign-up.

Artist at Work :)

2011-03-03T15:54:00.004-07:00

After all the time that I have worked with Warehouse 21 I can honestly say that I LOVE my job. These two artists are a great example of why. I love to see the art that people make....the ability to see and hear something and then take the next step to share it with the people around you.

Just a note to all of the artist that are out there. Warehouse 21 loves murals :) These blank walls would love to have your art on them. We still have spaces that are in need of some expression. So come by Warehouse 21 and talk to a staff member on how you can get involved. We are always looking for volunteers.

I am supper excited to see the finished product of this mural. It is going to look perfect on this wall.

2011-02-18T15:16:00.004-07:00

The Warehouse 21 floors have gotten a face lift. I know that the staff is loving it and we are hoping that everyone that comes to the building loves the floors too. It took Jenn a couple of weekends to get the floors in the Internet Cafe and the front lobby done and they are looking fantastic. For more information about Jenn here is a little poster of some of her art and how to get in touch with her if you are interested in her art work!

Warehouse 21 has been lucky enough to get a donation from Design Warehouse. We now have a great art piece that was made by Local artist Brian Chen and Stephen Christy of Ann Arbor, Michigan that will become a installation piece in our concert hall. It is made out of 45,000 drinking straws so we are hoping to put some lights behind tonight for the nights events! Here is a picture of it at Warehouse 21 and a Youtube video of the the making of the installation.

Warehouse 21 2008 Promo Video

2011-02-09T20:18:00.001-07:00

Right now I am working on getting all of the Warehouse 21 social media together and working. In the process I found this really cool video on our YouTube page. It is a promotional video that was made in 2008 I hope that everyone enjoys it :) Also, I am thinking that Warehouse 21 should host a competition where the teens or anyone that is really interested in Warehouse 21 make promotional videos and then we choose a video to go into schools with and put up on our YouTube...I think that it would be great...I want your ideas what do you think????

Hey everyone!

This is the first blog post on Warehouse 21's new blog. Our hope is to update everyone who is interested on the day to day on-goings here, kind of like an online staff log, and share pictures from recent events and projects. Right now Little Ana and I are closing up from open mic. We had the floors painted this weekend (pictures of the mural coming soon) and can't decide which way the furniture should go! If anyone out there has any ideas, your thoughts are always appreciated. As usual, we will be in tomorrow afternoon, and screen-printing is still 4-6pm.

Thanks!
Eliza Lutz
