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.
