"Rtea-facts for Kids" December 6, 2003

Reaching to Embrace Arts (RTEA) Presents "Rtea-Facts for Kids"

It's a party! It's an exhibit! It's for charity!!

WHAT? We're kicking off our December benefit gallery show with a rooftop party -- a good one. We'll have music from Abstract Rude, the Beverly Hills Wind Trio, Edit, Attached by Wires and special guests, plus extra art, video shows, and lots of adult beverages.

From the strange visions of Blaine Fontana to the urban punch of Mear One, "Rtea-facts" runs the gamut of cool in Cali art. Not to be outdone, actors and filmmakers like Jeff Bridges, Leelee Sobieski, and Mike Figgis have contributed works as well.

WHEN? December 6th, 6pm-11pm

WHERE? Don O'Melveny Gallery, 9009 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood, CA 90069.

HOW MUCH? It's a $10.00 suggested donation for the party. OBO.

WHY? We swear by the words "to enrich & inspire art endeavors for inner-city youth." All proceeds from the door go directly to our efforts to procure art supplies for under-funded art programs run by public schools and youth organizations in the greater LA area.

WHO ARE THE ARTISTS? Anthony Ausgang, Mike Figgis, Robbie Conal, Nathan Spoor, John Van Hamersveld, Mear One, Blaine Fontana, Jeff Bridges, Eugenie Jolivett, Shogo Minamikawa, Wilson Hsu, Chaz Bojorquez, Leelee Sobieski, Brandon Herrick, Brady Redman, Richard Duardo, Van Arno, Frank Diettinger, Sandow Birk, Freddi C, Sandra Low, and Rachel Schmeidler
