Hi All,

I'm not an artist, but I LOVE Art and support whenever I can.  I'm sure some of you are or have been involved with Figment since you are all so incredibly active. But just in case you are not and might want to be... Here's the info. Also I personally would love to see OWS be a huge part of Figment this year so I thought I'd throw the idea out there and see what comes out. OWS would not be as strong a force with all of you, your hard heartfelt work and creativity... So thank u!  =-)

Wishing us all an Amazingly Successful New Year!

In Solidarity,
Chanel


FIGMENT
NYC - Kickoff and Meet and Greet!
 
We're in the final stages of confirming our dates and plans for FIGMENT NYC 2012, so we have yet to make an announcement. We'll give you all the details, as well as release our calls for art for FIGMENT and calls for proposals for our summer-long projects in the next few weeks. But we do want to invite you to two special upcoming events...
 
First, our FIGMENT NYC 2012 Kickoff Meeting will take place on Tuesday, January 17, at 6:30p. If you've ever thought about getting more involved in FIGMENT as a team member, to help make FIGMENT happen, this is the meeting to come to. We'll introduce key FIGMENT NYC leaders and discuss all of the different roles on our volunteer team that we're looking to fill this year. Key roles include important spots on our curatorial team, our communications team, and helping with production.
 
When: 
Tuesday, January 17, 6:30pmWhere: 
HERE, 145 Sixth Ave., NYC (enter on Dominick Street one block south of Spring)

Many thanks to our friends at HERE for hosting us!
 
Then, all are welcome to join us for our first FIGMENT NYC Meet and Greet of 2012! This is a very loose, informal social gathering, where you can meet FIGMENT Team Members and Artists, get to know more about FIGMENT, and see how you fit in to what's happening with FIGMENT in NYC! FIGMENT is all about people, and we have to get to know each other better if we're going to make amazing things happen this summer! So please join us!
 
When: 
Tuesday, January 31, 7-10pmWhere: 
Central Bar, 109 East 9th Street (between 3rd and 4th Aves.), NYC - in the upstairs room
