Our good friend and often collaborator in the arts has released a hand-pulled <a href="http://priest.bigcartel.com/product/coke-diet-print" target="_blank">screen print</a> in an edition of 100. The subject this time leaves the UMS schoolgirls alone and instead takes focus on the veritably troubled Ms. Lindsay Lohan. Priest has also recently worked with Crista Rock Productions to put out a short video to accompany the print release (video at bottom).<br />

Priest has been known for years as the person who has made Mobile a more tolerable place to visit by beautifying the landscape with satirical stencils, taking aim at the likes of BP and their wonderful oil spill and their local politicians among many other topics.<br />

NoLA Rising is proud to continue their long tradition of giving away art. In our 6th Annual "It's Yours, Take It" we continue the art for toys swap with toys donated to benefit the Marine Corps' Toys for Tots program. Bring a brand new unwrapped toy in a box and exchange it for a piece of art that has been donated to NoLA Rising from over 35 artists, both local and international. We are still receiving work from anyone who would like to donate their talent to this cause.</div>

IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR 2012
SIXTH ANNUAL "It's Yours, Take It" TOYS FOR ART SWAP

<br />
For NoLA Rising’s Sixth Annual Installment of It’s Yours, Take It,
we would like to continue our seasonal holiday art for toys swap. For five years, we have helped create artwork that is donated to the event in order to raise toys for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. A collaboration between the arts community of New Orleans and street artists around the world to help benefit the children of New Orleans.
<br /><br />
The premise is simple: Someone coming to the event brings a brand new toy in a box to donate for the children during the holiday season and they get to take a piece of donated artwork with them. The toys are then given to the Marines and they sort it for their annual holiday distribution. All pieces are donated and traded for toys; no money exchanges.
<br /><br />
There is no theme on the artwork, so create as you wish.
<br /><br />
Our venue is currently unconfirmed, however it will be held within the first two weeks of December. We will confirm dates and location once finalized and inform accordingly.
<br /><br />
NoLA Rising is a 501(c)3 and can issue a donation letter to artists who indicate a value to their pieces for tax purposes. Please ensure actual value, in writing and detailing artist, mailing address, piece name and estimated value.
<br /><br />
Deadline for sending artwork is December 4th, as always, thank you’re your years of support in helping make this event a success… THE REVOLUTION IS YOU! -Rex

For the fifth year in a row, artwork has been created and sent in for a toy for art swap to raise toys for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and similar programs in the New Orleans area. The premise is simple: Someone brings a brand new toy in a box to donate to children and they get to take a piece of art with them. The toys are then donated to programs for their annual holiday distribution. <br /><br />The paint parties have been going on since that pesky storm passed by our city and our levees failed due to (well, you know)... To bolster the NoLA Rising offerings to people who bring toys in a box, we are having a paint party in conjunction with New Orleans Fringe Festival. The artwork created during the art event will be stored until the day of the art swap at the Hi-Ho Lounge. <br /><br />Facebook Event Page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/290343927666151/">http://www.facebook.com/events/290343927666151/</a><br /><br />For more information, click any of the pictures in this post.

The concept has long been a part of the NoLA Rising philosophy...to give art to the people. It's Yours, Take It is a way for artists to give artwork to a community, whether through organized functions such as this or through more guerrilla means. NoLa Rising has adapted it's annual IYTI by requesting that those who choose to participate bring a brand new toy in a box. <br /><br />The Hi-Ho Lounge kindly threw open her doors, arranged musicians, set up local crafts-people to help and NoLA Rising brought the art from the IYTI family of artists (that can be found on Flickr - link below), from the NoLA Rising family of artists and from local artists who dropped by throughout the day to drop off both toys and art. To all of them, we are eternally grateful for the participation and the spirit of community that persists throughout. NoLA Rising would also like to thank all of the wonderful people who brought toys and participated, bringing in 185 toys! <br /><br />That's right...185 toys for donation! If you weren't able to make it out, we hope that you find your own way of giving this holiday seas. Again, we thank everyone for their continued support of NoLA Rising and the New Orleans community. Together, we can make the cultural renaissance flourish!<br /><br />Some scenes from the IYTI:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/5252369934/" title="IYTI NoLa 4 by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5041/5252369934_8b84361e26_m.jpg" width="179" height="240" alt="IYTI NoLa 4" /></a>Author Mark Folse<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/5252231113/" title="IYTI NoLa 4 by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5161/5252231113_94680257a2_m.jpg" width="240" height="179" alt="IYTI NoLa 4" /></a>Visiting Celebrity Architects<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/5252551252/" title="IYTI NoLa 4 by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5282/5252551252_3a37253e0a_m.jpg" width="179" height="240" alt="IYTI NoLa 4" /></a>The beautiful and delightful DJ SoulSister<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/5252549658/" title="IYTI NoLa 4 by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5208/5252549658_928b530d98_m.jpg" width="240" height="179" alt="IYTI NoLa 4" /></a>The Indelible Pat Jolly<br /><br />More pics can be found <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/sets/72157625578855158/with/5252844376/">HERE</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/itsyourstakeit/">ITS YOURS, TAKE IT</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/5259138499/" title="Toys collected from the It's Yours, Take It hosted by NoLA Rising at the Hi-Ho by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5082/5259138499_211a572655.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Toys collected from the It's Yours, Take It hosted by NoLA Rising at the Hi-Ho" /></a>The Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09863222643295282034noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017156136895193137.post-78603260686498671222010-12-10T12:18:00.000-08:002010-12-10T13:18:05.553-08:00NoLA Rising Toys for Tots Exchange (Sat., Dec 11th at the Hi-Ho) - It's Yours, Take ItThis Saturday, December 11th, NoLA Rising presents its fourth IT'S YOURS, TAKE IT at the Hi-Ho (2239 Saint Claude Avenue) in the St. Claude Arts District from 12-6. Annually, the folks at NoLA Rising and the artists who support their endeavors, donate artwork to give away to community members who bring a brand new toy in a box to donate to the USMC's Toys for Tots Program.<br /><br />The artists come from all backgrounds and genres and are local and international artists who believe that artwork can make an impact on a community in many ways. This is one such way. NoLA Rising would like to thank all of the artists for their support and participation and is always thankful to the New Orleans community.<br /><br />See y'all on Saturday!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/5227088914/" title="Received today for the IYTI NoLA 4 by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5206/5227088914_ca221cdc6b.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="Received today for the IYTI NoLA 4" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/5247656323/" title="Contribution from Rex for the IYTI NoLA 4 by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5127/5247656323_0cb9bc1496.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="Contribution from Rex for the IYTI NoLA 4" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/5245051426/" title="from Encore for the IYTI NoLA 4 by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5049/5245051426_9fecc75cd4.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="from Encore for the IYTI NoLA 4" /></a><br /><br /><br />For more information on It's Your's, Take It online community that supports art giveaways and to see a variety of the work donated to the function:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/itsyourstakeit/discuss/72157625300259250/">It's Yours, Take It</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fKj4KeLb83o/TQKNoJPPu0I/AAAAAAAAB6U/SvZAbZ4KIoo/s1600/Marine%2BCorps%2BEmblem.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 288px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fKj4KeLb83o/TQKNoJPPu0I/AAAAAAAAB6U/SvZAbZ4KIoo/s320/Marine%2BCorps%2BEmblem.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549153411688020802" /></a>The Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09863222643295282034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017156136895193137.post-78653783951268087312010-11-29T11:43:00.000-08:002010-11-29T12:29:28.148-08:00How to Rebuild a City... (a field guide from a work in progress)This Thursday, NoLA Rising is proud to celebrate a book release for <em>How To Rebuild a City: Field Guide from a Work in Progress</em> published by Press Street and edited by Anne Gisleson and Tristan Thompson with proceeds to benefit Rebuilding Together New Orleans. <br /><br />Those of us from New Orleans that have traveled the strange and sometimes sad road of a city's recovery know all too well the steps we've taken, but this is a perfect guide for those who may follow...for cities that may one day face the same dark tragedy. New Orleans is a resilient and beautiful city that is proud to wear her scars on her sleeve. Consider this book an offering...not of what tragedies we had to overcome, but of what we pulled together and accomplished despite of tragedy.<br /><br />For those of you who can't make it out, the book will still be available at Beth's Books. For those of you who won't willingly cross Canal Street ;), you can also find the book at the Garden District Bookshop located at the corner of Prytania and Washington. <br /><br />Hope to see y'all out there and I've put below further information about the book,<br /><br />Rex<br />NoLA Rising<br /><br />More information:<br /><br />With contributions and collaboration from over 100 residents, writers, photographers, artists, and community organizations from New Orleans (and beyond) who kickstarted the recovery process, <em>How to Rebuild a City: Field Guide from a Work in Progress</em> presents the post-disaster landscape from the perspectives of those who are navigating their way through it.<br /><br />Beautifully designed, sometimes fun, always informative, How to Rebuild a City is a reflection of the many ways that New Orleanians have realized our way towards recovery, actively and creatively engaging with our communities. The book also serves as a primer of sorts for those who may encounter the post-disaster lifestyle wherever they live. Filled with advice, know-how and citizens sharing their stories of how they put the pieces back together, How to Rebuild a City celebrates the collective spirit of New Orleans as the city moves beyond crisis and into a brighter, safer and stronger future.<br /><br />How to Rebuild a City: Field Guide from a Work in Progress<br />Editors: Anne Gisleson & Tristan Thompson <br />Designer: Catherine Burke<br />$20, paperback, 152 pages, full-color, 8.25” x 6.25”.<br />ISBN 978-0-9777681-5-8, published by Press Street, 2010.<br /><br />Proceeds to benefit <a href="http://rtno.org/">Rebuilding Together New Orleans</a> (rtno.org)<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=110469445690466&id=694990402#!/event.php?eid=135123236542002"><br />To see the event on Facebook</a><br /><br />What: Book release party for How To Rebuild a City: Field Guide from a Work in Progress <br />When: December 2nd, 6:00 – 8:00pm<br />Where: Beth’s Books/Sound Café, 2700 Chartres Street (at Port St.), New Orleans, La. 70117The Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09863222643295282034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017156136895193137.post-11740133990279067112010-11-25T07:17:00.001-08:002010-11-25T07:17:46.206-08:00Happy Gobble Gobble Turkey DayFrom NoLA Rising to you...Happy Gobble Gobble Turkey Day.

After hurricane Katrina, it was a guiding mission of Rex to replace street signs and paint signs of hope for those who had returned to the city. One person made a movement of dozens of artists. We continue that theme with giving away donated artwork for this holiday season...<br /><br />For the fourth installment of New Orleans’ It’s Yours, Take it, Rex would like to continue the practice of a holiday art swap. For the third year in a row, artwork has been created and sent in for a toy for art swap to raise toys for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. The premise is simple: Someone brings a brand new toy in a box to donate to children and they get to take a piece of art with them. The toys are then donated to the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program for their annual distribution. <br /><br />Last year, we again had well over 120 toys donated for the cause and had a small garrison of Marines there to support the cause. <br /><br />As always, I encourage free and open themes for the work to allow you the freedom to work as you wish.<br /><br />This year, the work deadline will be Wednesday, December 8th. As of now, plans for where we’ll have the artwork are still not set. Trying to line up something in the next week. Worst-case scenario, I set up shop in the French Quarter and show people how we do it!<br /><br />Anyone interested, pls add your name and email me at:<br />[ nolarising504 @ gmail.com ]<br /><br />Again, huge thanks to everyone who’s made this a fun experience over the last few rounds…It's been a great way to give back to the community on a number of levels.<br /><br />For more information, pls click here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/itsyourstakeit/discuss/72157625300259250/">IT'S YOURS, TAKE IT - NoLA 4 (Four / quattro / τέσσερις / أربعة / quatre / cztery / четыре / cuatro / 4)</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/3112254590/" title="NoLA Rising Toys for Tots by dingler1109, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/3112254590_d2e17641ec.jpg" width="356" height="500" alt="NoLA Rising Toys for Tots" /></a>The Peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09863222643295282034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017156136895193137.post-44379422304060477272010-08-17T21:56:00.001-07:002010-08-17T21:56:52.391-07:00One question I'd like answered...it's been far too long<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/4903678738/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4903678738_8d5b37fe7b.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolarisingproject/4903678738/">One question I'd like answered...it's been far too long</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/nolarisingproject/">dingler1109</a>.</span></div><p>Has it been almost two years?
