We’ve Got Spirit…

Yes we do.
We’ve got spirit,
How ’bout you?

I proclaim a challenge. An opportunity if you will, for schools surrounding the University of Texas at Austin.

Ya see, Austin is regarded as a friendly town. For the most part this is true (although I feel this has begun to erode) and plenty of organizations rely on volunteer workers to conduct their large scale events (see First Night Austin and Art City Austin as two art examples). Thanks to Dan Boehl and …might be good I’ve been paying more attention to these volunteer-heavy visiting artists’ projects.  The cited Jim Drain for the Blanton, Liz Glynn at Arthouse this weekend and Pablo Vargas Lugo for the Blanton. This latest project needs 350 volunteers to conduct the project and they are still looking for help.

I’ve been listening to football fans complaining about the weak schedule the Longhorns have this year and how easy victory should come.
Howzabout some competition?

Are you a student or representative of St. Edwards University, Austin Community College, Southwestern University, Concordia University, Huston-Tillotson University or Texas State University? Why not come out in droves and show the UT community how art is supposed to be supported?
While we’re at it, why not have UMHB, Temple, TLU, UIW, OLLU, Trinity, UTSA, A&M come on down?

Hell, if Houston can represent at Nohegan, surely Rice or U of H can bus somebodies over?

To volunteer send an email to eclipsesforaustin@gmail.com

CHALLAAANGE!

I’ll tell you ’bout what I sees.
