NoLA Rising - It's Yours, Take It #7

NoLA Rising is making a call for art for It’s Yours, Take It - NEW ORLEANS 7



https://www.flickr.com/groups/itsyourstakeit/discuss/72157645167020411/

NoLA Rising has a long history of distributing artwork at no cost to the New Orleans area. 

For the seventh installment of New Orleans’ It’s Yours, Take it, Rex would yet again like to continue the practice of a holiday art swap.

For the seventh event we are holding in December, artwork will be 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. 



In 2012, we had a great presence and there were so many toys that we filled up a truck that the Marines took back to their distribution site.



This year, the work deadline will be Monday, November 24th, 2014.

UPDATE: Our Artists in Arms at SSOSVA ( The Secret Society of Super Villain Artists) are joining forces with NoLA Rising in support of this year's IYTI. The Secret Society of Super Villain Artists was founded in 1921 by Silent Bill. Everything else remains secret.

Artists planning to contribute, please send Rex your name as you'd like it to appear on the poster and include address if you'd like to receive one when they return from the printer.

If you're local to the New Orleans area, we will be available at Tracey's Bar every Friday of November from 4-7 where artists can drop off artwork and have a tasty beverage. Tracey's is located in the Irish Channel at 2604 Magazine Street. For more information on Tracey's, you can find it here: traceysnola.com/



For those who have scheduling conflicts with dropping off at Tracey’s, 45 Tchoup, located at 4529 Tchoupitoulas (across from Rouse’s) has offered to also be a receiving site for artwork.  They are open at 12 noon until late.  For more information on 45 Tchoup, click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170671802466/

We are currently working to hold the event Sunday, December 7th at GASA GASA at 4920 Freret Street, from 12-6 pm. Finalized plans are pending as of this writing mid-June. Music for the evening will be determined by their booking office. For more information on GASA GASA here: www.gasagasa.com/



Organizations or businesses that would like to get involved, please let us know how we can work together to make a successful event.

NoLA Rising is a 501(c)3 and can issue a donation letter to artists who indicate a value to their donated pieces for tax purposes. Please ensure actual value - in writing detailing artist, mailing address, piece name and estimated value.



Again, huge thanks to everyone who’s helped make this an amazing event every year we've done it. Me and the folks at NoLA Rising appreciate all your hard work and effort and your continued support of the people of New Orleans!



Thanks again and remember: THE REVOLUTION IS YOU!

Priest releases "Coke Diet" Hand-pulled screenprint

Our good friend and often collaborator in the arts has released a hand-pulled screen print 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).

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.

To hunt down your print, check out Priest here at Big Cartel:

NoLA Rising 6th Annual Toys for Art Swap - 2012 - Call for Art

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

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.

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.

There is no theme on the artwork, so create as you wish.

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.

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.

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
