Aug 5 2006 - 6:00pm [via omjp] Olympia's second annual Shadow Project is tonight! We welcome you to come create chalk shadows on Olympia's sidewalks. We'll paint these in remembrance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki's nuclear blasts 61 years ago. This is a serious reason but it's a really fun community art event. We'll pass out wet chalk from Sylvester Park between 7 and 10 p.m. But before that at 6 pm we'll draw and cut out shadow templates which will bring out your creative side. Sylvester is the sweet little square park in downtown Olympia on the corner of Legion Way and Capitol Blvd. Come anytime between 6 and 10 pm and bring your friends. We're at Sylvester Park in conjunction with another exciting event, the Veterans for Peace Bike Ride for Sustainability with music and speeches from TJ Johnson, Brian Willson and Lane Anderson. About twenty vets representing five wars are biking from Eugene, Oregon to Seattle. One of their main objectives is to highlight the connection between our need for oil and our wars. Brian Willson is a double amputee who is riding a hand-powered bike! So there's two good reasons to be in Sylvester Park tonight! Our chalk painting has been ok'd by the Olympia police department for use on our sidewalks, however we'll avoid state property like the sidewalks in Sylvester Park. Please spread the word. Namaste, Jody Tiller |
