MAPP to pitch at Livernois SOUP 6/25!

Thursday, June 25th at Lola's on the Avenue 
Arrive 6:00-6:30pm, pitches start promptly at 7:00pm.
Cost only $5 to attend/eat/vote!

Magic of Art in Palmer Park (MAPP) - artist-led creative workshops - has been selected as one of only two projects that will pitch at Livernois SOUP. 

Detroit SOUP is a microgranting dinner celebrating and supporting creative projects in Detroit. For a donation $5 attendees receive soup, salad, bread and a vote and hear from presentations ranging from art, urban agriculture, social justice, social entrepreneurs, education, technology and more. Each presenter has four minutes to share their idea and answer four questions from the audience. At the event, attendees eat, talk, share resources, enjoy art and vote on the project they think benefits the city the most. At the end of the night, we count the ballots and the winner goes home with all of the money raised to carry out their project. Winners come back to a future SOUP dinner to report their project’s progress.

We need your support!

MAPP is proud to be one of only two presenters tomorrow night, so we're hoping you'll join us and show your support for our artist led workshops in Palmer Park!

Free Community Art-making June 21 Kicks Off New Program

6/10/2015

We know Palmer Park inspires walkers and bikers and gardeners. Now it will inspire the creativity of visitors young and old with a series of free artist-led workshops geared toward sparking the magic and artistic spirit within us all.

Our new program, Magic of Art in Palmer Park (MAPP), is funded by a Community Development Advocates of Detroit (CDAD) placemaking grant to People for Palmer Park (PFPP). It extends a small tantalizing portion of the to the summer and fall seasons and will help identify Palmer Park on the 'MAPP' as a place for creating and enjoying art in the park.

Our first workshop is scheduled for Sunday, June 21 from 2- 4 pm near the urban gardens.
Register for this event and reserve your spot on our Facebook event: 
https://www.facebook.com/events/519772801514118/
It’s called Summer Solstice  Eco-Dying with Mandisa Smith, who is the co-owner of Detroit Fiber Works in Detroit. Using natural dyes and materials, participants (of all ages and skill levels) will learn how to create beautiful designs on individual silk squares, as well as work on a group project of a larger fabric mural to exhibit in the park.


Stay updated on the MAPP Program on their own page here on the People for Palmer Park website.
