Public Art Opportunity: Jardin de las Granadas Exhibitions 2010-11

Host a minimum of 2 two-hour art workshops per Quarter for a total of approximately 4 hours with a fellow volunteer at one of the playrooms at Children's Hospital or Harbor UCLA- Torrance.

The workshops rotate between playrooms and clinics in order to reach various patient populations at the hospital. For admitted patients as well as their visiting siblings, these workshops provide both a stimulating experience and exposure to a new activity. Upon leaving the hospital, many of these patients are eligible to participate in the Outpatient Coaching Program. Our goal is to provide a creative outlet for these children to develop new skills and focus on something other than their illness.

If interesting in volunteering, please contact Becca at becca [at] coachart [dot] org.

My name is Becca and I work for a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles called CoachArt. We provide free lessons in the arts, music and athletics to kids with chronic and life-threatening illnesses and their siblings. We look for experienced professionals and amateurs in a wide range of activities including photography, art, music, yoga, cooking, creative writing, acting, dancing and more to donate their time and instruction to our students. We pair volunteers with students one-on-one for a ten week session, once a week for approximately one hour. Our goal is to promote normalcy and personal development in kids who truly need it. If you are interested in learning more about how to volunteer with us, please contact me at Becca at coachart dot org.

The long-term goal of the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) is to design and construct a series of land/environmental art installations in the UAE that uniquely combine aesthetic intrigue and artistic concept with clean energy generation.

The LAGI viewing platforms will be tourist destinations and educational facilities, drawing people from around the world to experience the beauty of the collaborative artworks. At the same time, the art itself will continuously distribute clean energy into the electrical grid, with the sculptures having the potential to provide power to thousands of homes in the United Arab Emirates.

International artists, designers, engineers, and architects are invited to conceive large sculptural works that use technology to harness the power of nature.

The Future Generation Art Prize established by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation is a worldwide contemporary art prize to discover, recognize and provide long-term support to a future generation of artists.

Artists around the world up to the age of 35, without restriction of gender, nationality, race or artistic medium may enter the competition through online application.

20 shortlisted artists will be selected to show their work in an exhibition at the PinchukArtCentre (Kiev). An international Jury will award one main prize and up to five special prizes.
