Autotelic Studios + Third Thursday = Micro-Residency
We just wanted to give you a heads up…As some of you may know, what once stood as Autotelic Gallery now functions as a shared art studio housing the work spaces of seven local artists. This Fall, Autotelic Studios teamed up with local arts syndicate Third Thursday Symposium to form a collaborative project called Twofold Projects, and we are developing a Micro-Residency program that is set to open up in the Autotelic storefront! The deadline for submissions is coming up fast, so we wanted to make sure we spread the word far and wide!  And, a little birdie told us that you appreciate a good brew… we’re having a Keg Race to fund the Micro-Residency and keep the tuition cost low for the participating artists.***Join us on December 1st, 2012 for the Industry of the Ordinary vs. Bad At Sports Keg Race!***International performance duo Industry of the Ordinary will be pitted against the infamous Bad At Sports podcast crew in a good old fashioned beer drinking contest. Anyone and everyone can participate by getting sponsors to pledge money for each beer they consume at the event. At the end of the evening, we’ll tally the Dixie cups and announce the winner! The fine, fine folks at Moonshine Brewery have been gracious enough to donate beer for the event… so who wouldn’t want to get in on that bubbly tastiness! Want to get in on the drinking and help raise some moolah? Send out this form to your friends and get them to sponsor your boozing! Just have them enter your name in the “Who are you sponsoring?” section and have your drinks on somebody else’s dime ;) RSVP to our Facebook event and invite your friends!
