And so I find myself signing into this blog again to blog that "Last month, actually a few months ago already, thisopenspace launched their $30,000 Space Fund in New York City, pledging to fuel 30 projects from their community of brand builders and ideamakers with sponsored space." And thisopenspace gave me, or I was the recipient of a $500 space fund marketplace credit to use to book one of their spaces from their website to do a Black Lives Matter Art Show, as one of the things that Black Lives Matter Art Show usually needs to do those Black Lives Matter Art Shows is space. And so I used that marketplace credit to book a space at Dacia Gallery. And according to Bedford + Bowery, Black Lives Matter Art Show found a new life at Dacia Gallery Saturday evening, December 9th. Thanks for mentioning Black Lives Matter Art Show Bedford + Bowery. And so Black Lives Matter Art Show went to Dacia Gallery this past weekend, that Contemporary gallery showcasing a variety of local established & emerging artists in that neighborhood of Soho or Lower East Side in New York City. And Steve from The Stop Mass Incarceration Network spoke about The Stop Mass Incarceration Network and handed out posters and literature. And Dawn from #TaketheStands hung her really big "THIS IS US TAKING A KNEE BLACK LIVES MATTER" banner on the wall, that she uses to drop from stadiums at sports events and other places. And Ras played his horn and there was music, music and more music, and there were more thoughts written on those Your Thoughts On Black Lives Matter banners on what was a freezing
cold snowstorm evening with SantaCon events abounding and SantaCon Clausers on the streets everywhere in NYC on this day. And so I posted photos and videos from this event that find themselves posted above. And thanks simply_me_kandeeleigh for instagraming one of those photos from this event that finds itself posted above also. And that facebook event invite read something like: Black Lives Matter | Carla Cubit of Occupy Art
Free posters will be available from The Stop Mass Incarceration Network
Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, the one day pop up Black Lives Matter Art Show features Carla Cubit's Black Lives Matter artwork and posters, accompanied by her photographs from Black Lives Matter protests throughout the NYC area and banners from Take the Stands. .
"Expand scope, perspective, and inspiration towards an ongoing series of future culture jams and events around this theme and time." During Open Hours, all are encouraged to come talk about the Black Lives Matter movement and are invited to view Your Thoughts On Black Lives Matter banners and create their own posters/Black Lives Matter inspired artwork (art materials and supplies provided).

Have a great Occupy Art, Occupy Wall Street Worldwide, Black Lives Matter day and more.
Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blog. The Living Gallery has a new space in New York's Lower East Side or East Village you can call it for real estate marketing purposes maybe. And Black Lives Matter Art Show went to The Living Gallery's new space, The Living Gallery Outpost this past week. And thanks again Nyssa for giving me the opportunity to get that Black Lives Matter artwork out of the closet again to continue those culture jams and events around this theme and time, as I haven't had the opportunity to do another one of those art shows since Black Lives Matter Art Show Went To The Living Gallery. And every picture tells a story, I think, about how this art show went as in those photos and videos that find themselves posted above. And thanks Paper Magazine for mentioning Black Lives Matter Art Show as THE 10 MUST-SEE ART SHOWS OPENING THIS WEEK, which was actually last week by now. And that Facebook event invite for this event read something like:

About #WHOISUNCLETOM Join the Conversation. Un-Masking: Stories and Truth. This workshop examines how media images, stereotypes and grotesque representations shape our ideas of race, class and culture. We all have a story.
Food and refreshments will be provided
FREE
Though in all honesty #WhoisUncleTom talkback cancelled their workshop at the last minute and that Black Lives Matter Band didn't really materialize. And much like The Living Gallery in Brooklyn, The Living Gallery Outpost are having community events seemingly every day and beyond. And if I must also mention in this blogger post, according to that Inaugural Space Fund announcement yesterday, Black Lives Matter Art Show is also looking forward to going to one of thisopenspace's spaces sometime later this year I guess, as one thing I think one needs to do those art shows is space. Thanks #thisopenspace. And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street day one thousand or two thousand and something, I think. And those protest for world revolution movements Occupy Wall Street and all things police brutality and beyond movements Black Lives Matter are still moving fast. We are the 99%. Have a great Occupy Art, Occupy Art NYC, Occupy Wall Street Worldwide day and more.
Everybody wants to get on the Van Gogh boat. I think, as in that Basquiat movie quote from that Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat mural that finds itself posted above that was found on the streets around 10th and Bedford Avenue during that BLOCK PARTY at Northside Festival in New York City this past weekend. And Northside Festival gave me the opportunity to drag that Black Lives Matter artwork out of the closet again to do another one of those Black Lives Matter Went To Northside Festival art shows, or part of it, or some version of it as I did at their festival last year and to post on this blog that Black Lives Matter Art Show went to another event, or something like that. And the rain held off and the sun felt as if it was a thousand degrees on this Northside Festival 2017 weekend in New York City.
On June 10th-11th, Williamsburg’s main drag - Bedford Avenue will transform into a public park (from Metropolitan Avenue to N.12th Street). Temporary wall units for live painting, interactive installations and workshops, and engaging sculptures will be staggered throughout the blocks for the community to enjoy! See you at the Block Party! Come see the work of these talented artists and exciiting business!

And someone said to me on this day as they pondered those thoughts on Black Lives Matter, a particular thought that stuck in my mind, that "Black means evil and white means good", and that this thought has been instilled in us since the beginning of time and can this ever be changed?
And I seemed to have taken a photo of everything but those Your Thoughts on Black Lives Matter thoughts that were written on the banners themselves on this day, though some of those thoughts in addition to other Your Thoughts on Black Lives Matter thoughts written on banners on this day if I were to read them were:
1. We are alive
