An Occupy Wall Street Art Show


Hey again all. And today finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 68. And Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Together are still moving fast. And Barbara A Solony has posted a video on her Facebook page of that Occupy Art NYC Show @ Theater for the New City November 12th, 4-9pm event that has since come to pass. Thanks for the video Barbara. And the description of her video reads as follows: "OCCUPY WALL STREET ART SHOW. VISUAL ARTS, BANDS, RAP, SINGERS AND POETS. AT THE THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY." We are the 99%. Occupy Wall Street art worldwide.

Video From An Occupy Art, PROTEST! Art Show



Hey all. And today finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 62. And Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Together are still moving fast. And we, well really I, find ourselves, myself, posting another update to this Occupy Art blog that was created for that Occupy Art Show that was held at Theater for the New City, November 12th, 2011 that has since come to pass. And there seems to be YouTube videos missing as part of this Occupy Art Show event, and so that video from an Occupy Art, PROTEST! Art Show that finds itself posted above, well, it's of a PROTEST! Art Show, though that Occupy Art Show event part finds itself missing, as I spaced out in bringing my camera to that Occupy Art NYC Show in that city of New York on that November 12th of an Occupy Art Show day and that video from an Occupy Art, PROTEST! Art Show finds itself without that Occupy Art NYC Show in it a few days later as a result. We/I am not sure if there will be any more updates made to this blog, though Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast. 2012. An awakening. A time for change. You can't evict an idea whose time has come. When justice ends, tyranny begins. No one is free when others are oppressed. We are the 99%. We are the legions. Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State? Occupy Wall Street Art Worldwide.

Photos From An Occupy Art, PROTEST! Art Show

And today finds itself as Occupy Wall Street day 59 and Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Together are still moving fast. And so that November 12th date for our Occupy Art NYC show at Theater for the New City has came and went. We would like to thank Carla NPSG and Cynthia De Moss for curating this event and we would like to invite you to visit our Occupy Art NYC Facebook page for information of any ongoing occupy art events there may be to continue the occupy art discussion. We would also like to thank Crystal Field of Theater for the New City who without letting us use her space this show would have not been possible. And we would like to thank Hungry March Band for their great performance that Occupy Art Show night, as well as Fran McGee for her contribution in the upstairs theater at Theater for the New City with her art installation as part of the PROTEST! art show and Occupy Art NYC show as well. Thanks for the great food spread Fran. And also thanks to Jennifer Blowdryer for her surprise performance that night as well. We would also like to thank all of the other artists and musicians who made it by that night as well. The performance schedule went a little out of order that night, though it seemed to have went and the theater's Cabaret theater space seemed to have reached its capacity at some point throughout that night so seating seems to have been a concern throughout that night, though hopefully most you who made it by to see that occupy art show found seats to see that Occupy Art Show at some point throughout that Occupy Art NYC Show night. We would also like to thank SinXero of JGB Design Studio for contributing most of those Occupy Art Show and PROTEST! art exhibition photos of James C. Matthews, Dottie Wilson, Puma Perl, Shell Sheddy, Marta Rosario. Layla Merritt, Hungry March Band, Meg Montgomery of Pluto Crazy Frack Attack and others that find themselves posted above from that Occupy Art or is it Occupy Art NYC Show night.  And No Police State Girl's artwork found itself there as part of that Occupy Art NYC and PROTEST! art show as well. And I, as an administrator of this blog, spaced out in bringing my camera to post that Occupy Art Show YouTube video from that Occupy Art Show at Theater for the New City night, so if anyone who happens to be reading this blog has any photos or videos to share from that night please post them on our Occupy Art NYC Facebook page, in the comments section on this blog or send an email to occupyart@juno.com. We are the 99%. Have a great Occupy Art, Occupy Art NYC, Occupy Art Worldwide, Occupy Wall Street Worldwide day.

Occupy Art Is Here

Hey again all. That date for that Occupy Art Show at Theater for the New City that we have been blogging about for the past few weeks now on this blog is finally here. Okay, well that date for that Occupy Art Show, or is it Occupy Art NYC Show at Theater for the New City in that city of New York, is almost here and very near, as that November 12th date for that show finds itself a couple of days away as we post this blog post. And Occupy Wall Street, that global revolution of an event is still moving fast as today finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 55 and tomorrow finds itself as 11.11.11 with a host of Occupy Wall Street 11.11.11 events, 11.11.11 Occupy Central Park and 11.11.11 Occupy The Streets. Occupy The World events going on. And we have made a few changes to our Occupy Art NYC Show @ Theater for the New City Facebook event invite since we last posted it on this blog a while ago. We have added performance times for a few of the musicians and we are still hoping to have an open mic towards the end of the show. And even though that Occupy Art Show facebook event invite says that there will be a live video feed component as part of this show, we are not really sure if there will be a live video feed component as part of this event, though we would hope so. And that "After-party TBA" that finds itself mentioned as part of our Occupy Art Show Facebook event invite, well we are not really sure if there will be an after party to be announced after our Occupy Art show. We will see we guess. And we would like to thank the The Villager Newspaper for mentioning the Occupy Art NYC Show @ Theater for the New City in this weeks edition. And we would also like to thank Brent Felker - "the 99" who will be opening up his HD projector for anyone who needs it to show their films. So bring your occupy art, 99% films for Brent. Thanks Brent. We will be using the downstairs Cabaret Theater at the Theater for the New City November 12th and hope to have a few programs printed for everyone to read the shows schedule for that day. And as we mentioned before, this schedule is not set in stone and may be subject to change depending on the amount of people who show up that day, though we are hoping to follow some kind a basic format for that day. And that SinXero (SX) photo that finds itself posted above for that Occupy Art Show at Theater for the New City November 12th, well it just Occupy Art NYC Rocks. And that "PROTEST!" Art Show at Theater for the New City has since opened up at Theater for the New City since we last posted about it on this blog. And we would like to invite you to view the "PROTEST" art exhibition while you are at the Theater for the New City during the Occupy Art Show also. We would also like to invite you to visit Our Occupy ART NYC Facebook page to continue the occupy art discussion of ongoing events after our Occupy Art Show event November 12th has passed. And so that Occupy Art Show, or is it Occupy Art NYC Show facebook event invite reads something like as follows. We look forward to seeing you Saturday.

We are pleased to invite you to "Occupy Art NYC~!" an art, performance and exhibition pop up party to be held at Theater For The New City on Saturday, November 12th from 4pm until 9pm.

PROTEST! Art Exhibition


And being that the title of this blog finds itself called Occupy Art that seemingly wants to support those Occupy Wall Street protests with all things Occupy Wall Street art, it seems fitting to mention on this blog that Theater for the New City will be having a "PROTEST!" art show, in addition, or at the same time, or before, or during our Occupy Art Show at Theater for the New City November 12th also.
