Pumped up. Prescription show. This Friday!

We have made over 100 shirts for this show.

about 20 of the funnest will make it onto the wall for the show on friday!

it will run through Sept 1. at the new

BOWS and ARROWS at 1815 19th street

in midtown Sacramento.  

All shirts are made by local painters, writers, drummers, wizards and teachers.

They are all one of a kind.  

Most of the shirts are collaborative pieces made by more than

two artists at a time.

Renny Pritikin wrote the Prescription, I read it, fell in love.

Got inspired. starting drawing. Created the show. Got 25 artists to draw original art work illustrating one of the 24 phrases in the Prescription, Paul and I made the silk screens. I printed them with most of the artists by hand at the Verge.  

Liz and I made special hang tags for each one so you can read who did what to each shirt, and we made garment labels that have been sewn one by one into each shirt with love.

 Shirts have been hand dyed, painted, beaded, stitched and skillfully scissored by local artmakers that you need to know. 

Priced between $15 and $50, you can totally  bring one home.   

Wear it O U T .

to bed. to garden in. to run in. to dance in. sweat, sleep, play...

spread the word about HOW to make your art scene healthier. 

Each artist who made the shirts will be directly supported when you purchase one from the show at Bows and Arrows.  If you can not make it to our show before September 1, but want to support these artists and the PRESCRIPTION FOR A HEALTHY ART SCENE, you can go to FIBERS.COM

after the opening of the show, Friday, August 5, and make your own ONLINE!!!

Matt from Fibers.com has created a special zone in

his online shop JUST FOR THIS PROJECT ! 

gatta go. i'm a little obsessed with printing and sewing right now.

SEE YOU FRIDAY AT BOWS! 

MBA GALA the Warhol Economy, Pregnant Premiere

Trisha, Rorie, Richard, Olivia, Sarah and Jesse.

the team got fancy to attend a special

evening with a lecture on

The Warhol Economy: How Fashion, Art, and Music Drive New York City [Hardcover]
by Elizabeth Currid (Author)

Olivia and I went to the MBA GALA last week.

From Publishers Weekly
In detailing the inner workings of New York's creative industries-ostensibly to demonstrate what policymakers ignore when their appreciation for art begins and ends at the museum-urban planning Ph.D. Currid gives readers an eagle-eyed look at the networking mechanics of the art-as-business crowd. Colorful description abounds, as do colorful characters, such as "petite, personable" Claw, who "has clothing lines with Calvin Klein and Ecko, and is the fashion editor for the indie magazine, Swindle," as well as "one of the most celebrated female graffiti artists of all time." Using Claw's success to illustrate "three important characteristics of the cultural economy"-"unique and symbiotic" inter-industry relationships, rapid commodification of cultural goods and multiple streams of self-generating buzz-Currid is at her lucid best. Unfortunately, the policymaking conclusions she draws are weak; Currid doesn't get very far beyond admonitions to stop "shutting down nightclubs" where the art community connects and instead to support, publicly, "ways in which this artistic and cultural environment is reinforced." Funding for cultural organizations such as GenArt are discussed, as are tax initiatives and artist living subsidies, but Currid doesn't take into account the examples of other cities, like Providence, RI, that have already taken such steps; thus, Currid's blanket statements about the state of urban affairs, and her vague recommendations to improve it, aren't nearly as convincing as her vivid cultural reportage. 25 halftones, 22 line illus.

Review
[Currid] describes the organic, informal, social networking side of the creative arts in a mixed tone of Rolling Stone new journalism and objective reporting that serves to advance her central thesis: that as an independent drive of an urban economy, the arts and its related industries should stop being viewed as the beautiful step-child of city environments.
