We want your unloved “craftables”

You know those craftables that just did not live up to a project?  Donate them to the Back Alley Artists.

What’s a craftable?  Buttons, beads, sparkles, ribbons, plastic flowers, metal, glass, anything that can be glued, stapled, hammered, painted, or tied to a Faux Show meant to be fun, zany, wacky work of art.

Who is a Back Alley Artist…anyone who participates in the upcoming “eventshops” that will be held at participating downtown businesses.  The works of art created at these “eventshops” will be then be entered in the first annual Art Faux Show to be held in August.

Donate your unused, unwanted craft supplies at any of the following businesses….Davis Downtown Market, eyeZinga!, Gallery 313, Kitchen Emporium, Pixel Point, and Two Gather Beads.

First Friday – June 3 is Hot Wheels and High Heels and we are having a Crazy High Heel contest to celebrate!  Shoes can be entered as “giveaways”,  “wantembacks,”  or entered in the upcoming Art Faux show in August.

Enter your “giveaways” in the ugliest of ugliest high heel category because we are assuming you probably really don’t want those ugly things back.

And we know you all have a pair of those “just to die for, got to have them, can’t really afford them but getting them anyway” high heels that can be entered in the “wantemback” categorie because there is no way you are giving those babies up.

Or find a pair of cool high heels and  bling em out!  And then enter them in the August Art Faux Show.

Start entering your shoes this Tuesday, May 31 at your favorite participating First Friday business because you got it …..the storefront with the most entries wins the Crazy High Heel top Dawg award to be displayed in their store for the year!

Then get all your family and friends to come vote, browse, and enjoy the First Friday events!  Voting will be from 5 to 7:45 during the event with winners announced at 8pm.

First Friday businesses include Davis Downtown Market, eyeZinga!, Gallery 313, Kitchen Emporium, Pixel Point, and Two Gather Beads.
