MAPP event this APRIL 3, 2010

The Mission Arts & Performance Project is a bi-monthly collaboration between visual artists, musicians, poets and performers. The MAPP puts art and performance on the street level by using alternative spaces such as private garages, basements, and studios. It’s a block party of the arts for inspiring in ourselves, and others, the desire for a creative existence, an ever widening experience of life.

Among the venues confirmed, we have:
Red Poppy Art House
Pathos-on-Harrison
Revolution Cafe
L's Caffe
Garofaloop
And much more!!!

Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to share and enjoy the charm of Mission and their wonderful, talented artists.
It is free!!

I will post the whole program in a couple of days... stay tuned.

See you there...
