2nd Annual
Paint By Number Group show
Installed Until July 31st
Thank you to all that came in support of our One Year Anniversary potluck on July 4th as well as our Closing Reception on July 25th. It really means a lot to us to see returning faces as well as the new ones for the last year. It has been quite a ride here at WE Artspace, having now produced 11 Group Shows, 2 Solo Shows, a 5 Weekend long Holiday Craft Fair, 2 art film events and more than 20 musical events. The amazing thing is that we accomplished our goals while maintaining a home and a marriage, a healthy dog and holding 5 part-time jobs between the two of us (which I believe may have been around 7 or 8 at one point). So this is for all of you, for all this was achieved with the help of those who wished to participate and help carry culture into the future. Creating day in and day out, interweaving landscapes of social behavior with cut outs and mixed pigments. Questioning the beauty sought by the beholder; themselves. WE belong to Art Culture. WE breath life into it, even as spectators.
Thank you everyone for a great year!
WE look forward to seeing you all in the near future.
Coming Up In August...

WE Artspace was interviewed by Elysa Lozano for Autonomous Organization's new project, Project Space Survival Strategies. Please take the time to check it out!
Project Space Survival Strategies brings together anecdotal stories from project spaces internationally, covering a range of aims, organizations, and funding alternatives. It highlights the organizational ingenuity of contemporary project spaces and through this transparency promotes the development of new models.
More than 40 project spaces from around the world are included in this first iteration of the survey, from locations as far afield as Basel, Berlin, Budapest, Chicago, Copenhagen, Jerusalem, Holon, London, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai and Vienna. Initially published in May 2010, surveys are collected and added to Project Space Survival Strategies on an ongoing, rolling basis--the organizers of any project space, are encouraged to participate in this survey.

Oakland North, which is a news project of U.C. Berkeley’s
Graduate School of Journalism, created a small documentary project on
live in gallery spaces in Oakland. WE Artspace as well as ABCo,
Blank Space, Float, Rowan Morrison & Sight School,
were all interviewed for the article titled Beyond Broadway and Telegraph.
