I Hope you are all having a great summer and enjoying all of the wonderful things central New York has to offer! I wanted to write for several reasons. First and foremost to let you know about the fantastic things that the task forces and organization have going on for the warmer months (they are listed below). These events are a great way to become more involved, meet new people and explore new places!

Public Art Task Force

Friday, July 30 - 5 & Dime, PATF Fundraiser and Awareness Party
The 5 & Dime party/happy hour is an event to raise both awareness and funds for the PATF. We are collecting a wide range of artwork, donated by local artists, that will be on display and available for purchase during a happy hour/party the Thursday or Friday of Arts Week. Each piece will be priced at $10 (the Dime) and donation at the door will be $5 (the 5.) The event will be held from 5 -8 pm in a storefront at 451 S. Warren St.

Saturday, July 31 - Mp3 Experiment
PATF will be conducting an Mp3 Experiment as part of Arts Week. The Mp3 Experiment is a public performance involving many participants; part guerrilla theater, part flash mob. Everyone who wants to partic! ipate in the event will download a pre-recorded Mp3 file onto their personal music player. They will gather in a given location, wait for a signal, and start listening to the Mp3 at the exact same time. Details about starting location and time will be available closer to the event. To look at pictures from last year’s experiment and get information about this summer's event, check out the blogspot: http://syracusemp3experiment.blogspot.com/

The PATF will be sponsoring an art show in a temporary gallery space at S. 451 Warren Street for the run of Arts Week (Friday, the 23 Monday thru Saturday, the 31st.) Local artists from the Syracuse area are being invited to submit work for the curated show.

Monday, August 2 - Ignite Syracuse
The PATF will be hosting its fouth Ignite Syracuse event on Monday, August 2th, starting at 6:30pm at Bull and Bear pub in Hanover Square. Ignite Syracuse is an evening of short talks with some special rules. In “Ignite” each speaker gets 5 minutes - but must have 20 slides and each slide must automatically progress in 15 seconds. This makes for fun and exciting presentations ranging from just about any topic the speaker can think of. Besides for that, it is just a fun evening to get together with friends, have some drinks, meet new people, and hear some creative ideas that are floating around Syracuse.
