FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
North Park Announces Green Scene
On
Saturday September, 19th from 6pm - 10pm North Park
Nights, non-profit arts collective, will celebrate
their third collective event-”Green Scene.”
September’s event will feature local artists and businesses
as they respond to the “green” theme. NPN believes in sustainability,
responsibility and an overarching respect for our immediate
community and by extension the planet at large. The date for
the event was chosen specifically to build on the efforts of
local architecture firm, Zagrodnik + Thomas, who for the past
few years laid the groundwork for green events in their annual
“Green Scene.” The collaborative spirit has
made this years’ event bigger and better. Artwork will be
featured at local galleries, restaurants, retailers and bars.
Together we’re going to paint the town “green,” freckling the
North Park landscape with creative eco-inspired works of art.
Cardboard Challenge
In the spirit of “green”, select members are responding
specifically to a cardboard challenge that coincides with our second
scavenger hunt. Local artists and business were invited to create
a window display, artwork or installation that is built primarily
from cardboard. It will be juried, and participants will compete
to win prizes for first and second place. Most importantly, the
public is invited to come and enjoy the creativity. Stroll through
and take a peak or head out on the scavenger hunt that will lead
you to each participating location and ultimately to a wide array
of prizes, from gift certificates to artwork, all donated by different
local businesses. Local artists will show SD how North Park can
convert objects that are ordinarily thrown out into works of art.
Creativity meets sustainability in this interactive project.
