pARTicipate pARTies!!


pARTicipate pARTies feature YOU as both artist and patron.
These large-scale multi media art/music gatherings showcase an art project every guest is encouraged to contribute to in their own way. It's entirely voluntary, and you need no artistic skills beyond enthusiasm. We provide a theme and all necessary art supplies and let you run wild. The pieces you create are collected and transformed off-site into a dynamic installation which will be displayed and auctioned off for charity at the next pARTicipate event...where we encourage you to come and see what the fruits of your creative labors have become.

pARTicipate grew organically from years of friendship and artistic collaboration between Jim Shissler (DJ Shissla) and myself. Since 2001, Shissla and I have thrown ART pARTies all over the globe (SF, Brussels, Paris, Miami, LA) annointing spaces with sound, spirits and artwork. We called these stuART pARTies, since they started with a small group of paintings in my Potrero Hill living room. The San Francisco Bay Guardian referred to these cozy events as a "collective search for meaning."
