Create Denver re-imagines the City Beautiful Movement

Leave a comment

City Beautiful 2.0 opens this Friday in Denver, with a unique experience planned for the McNichols building, featuring a new amazing art environment in Denver. Create Denver has redesigned a portion of the McNichols Civic Center Building as a creative installation and flexible coworking space, which will be on display May 10-June 23 as part of the City Beautiful 2.0 project.

City Beautiful 2.0 opens on Friday, May 10 from 5-8 p.m. and celebrates the civic and community engagement ideals of the City Beautiful Movement, first championed in Denver in 1904 by former Mayor Robert Speer. The installation includes architectural renderings of the Civic Center’s built environment, textiles, and the natural elements of the park.

The project also includes a co-working space, featuring custom, mobile furniture created by local artists that is free and open for use during normal McNichols Building hours (10 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday-Sunday).

“Create Denver is helping to establish the McNichols Building as cultural hub for the city – and we’re officially retiring Create Denver Week so that we can help bring year-round programming and exhibitions to the building,” said Create Denver program manager Lisa Gedgaudas.

“We’ve experimented with the use of space in the building, and we’ve come up with place that will give Denver’s creatives, entrepreneurs, residents and visitors a chance to experience a co-working environment, and that will hopefully generate more ideas on how to integrate the building with its surrounding built environment.”

Leave a comment

Phamily Poker

Greetings,
Here we go again!  We are extremely happy to announce the Phamily Poker Classic 3 to you first!
The Phamily Poker Classic 3 is once again a Texas Hold Em Event and will take place on July 31st at Harvey’s casino in Lake Tahoe.  This is the same casino that is hosting Phish’s July 30th & 31st shows. Seats at this Phamily Poker Classic tournament are very limited as it will be played only during the afternoon of the 31st.  As at the prior Classic tournaments, blinds and chip stacks will be structured so that nobody will miss a note of Phish.
This tournament will once again benefit our favorite charity The Mockingbird Foundation.  The entry fee will be $140 and at least half of that amount will go directly into the prize pool along with a slew of great non-cash prizes that will be raffled off throughout the tournament.  Every player in the Phamily Poker Classic 3 will receive a limited edition custom poster by AJ Masthay and the final table will get a special signed/numbered edition different from the rest in the number that they’re eliminated!  We anticipate a large number of exciting non-cash prizes to give away!  I’m sure you all remember the great prizes we’ve had in the past. The remainder of the buy in will go to the expenses for the tournament and for the donation to The Mockingbird Foundation.
In appreciation of you having participated in our past events we will be opening up the opportunity to purchase a seat in the Phamily Poker Classic 3 for you in a special pre-sale that will last until Wednesday April 10th, prior to the general on-sale at 10am pt (1:00pm et) on April 10th. The special pre-sale is open now.  You can purchase you seat here.  We hope that you’ll help us sell this event out, whether you can attend or not, by telling other fans out there how much you enjoyed the past tournaments.
We hope that you will join us again and make this event as special as the previous Phamily Poker Classic tournaments, which raised over $10,000 for The Mockingbird Foundation.  With your continued support, we can keep these events happening and support a great cause.
As always, we will keep you posted on any information that you need to know at www.phamilypokerclassic.com.  If you have any questions we can be reached at phamilypokerclassic@gmail.com.

This poster was made for the Strangefolk Reunion shows played  in late March of 2012. The poster was made as a thank you for donating food to Strangers Helping Strangers. There were a few left over and PhanArt has offered to help Don raise some money for SHS by sharing these online.

The prints are not signed or numbered, but they are printed on glossy paper and all monies after shipping will benefit SHS. The cost for each print is $25 including shipping. Comment below the poster if you would like one. There are only THREE left.

30 Year Pin Set from Ryan Kerrigan and Jeff Clark

Leave a comment

Jeff Clark recently approached Ryan Kerrigan about creating a pin set that would commemorate each year of Phish history, although the task was daunting, to find an image/design that represented every year of Phish’s 30. With some thought and effort, the duo came up with a pin set to timeline the legacy that is Phish. The first five pins of their 30-year pin set are now here.  The pin board below shows the layout for the 30 pins, with a couple extra years for good measure. 🙂

30 year series pin boardAbout the pins: Each pin is a limited run of 100 and they will be released in batches of five pins, with the first batch featuring 1983, 1991,1998, 2001 and 2009. Each pin measures 1″ in diameter while the pin board measures 9.5″ x 12″ x 0.5″.

Single pins are $15 each shipped, but you can pick up the first batch of 5 pins at a discount rate of $45 shipped. When you order all five pins, you can get matching numbers of each pin, as well as dibs on all future batches with the same number. As a bonus, the first batch comes with a free pinboard to display the entire series.

To order these pins, send a Paypal payment to ryan (at) ryankerrigan.com
