Hey crew!

We have been bummed about not being able to hold events with Lockdown going on. So, we have been brainstorming ways to hold a Limited Space safely. 

This is what we got:
Limited Space, Drive In Movie style. We Project art on 12’ X 9’ outdoor screen in the Art Center Parking lot, set to music. While guests stay safely in their cars. Guest can listen using their car radios. 
Artists sell virtually. We are setting up a system to help direct guests to your preferred sales method while they watch. We are also planning a virtual tip jar for artists that works with Venmo and Apple Pay. 
This time you don’t actually have to be physically present. But we would love to have you attend if you are available.
When/Where:
Saturday, June 20th at the Des Moines Art Center Parking lot
As usual there are no fees to participate or commission taken from sales! 
How to apply to show? Email us at: limitedspace@teamrockpaperscissors.ninja

Easy – Please email us these 6 things:
1. 7-10 photos of your beautiful art to use during the showcase with titles please. 
2. Your name as you want it represented.
3. Your social media link (Instagram preferred).
4. Your Preferred sales method. Give this some thought please. We are going to send their phones right to whatever this is. A sales website, shopify, or similar is good. It could also be an email template or email address.  
5.The virtual tip jar! Please email us your Venmo and/or phone number if you prefer Apple Pay.
6.What you would like to say to the guests. (One – three sentences) It could be anything, but it is intended to be a stealth sales tactic.

Alternatively - you can apply online at https://www.limitedspace.co/call-for-artists
We are considering posting the showcase online during of art week only. Let us know what you think about that.

For all of you self-proclaimed sleuths, boy do we have something special in store for you!  Local artist, Ryan Topete, will be painting 10 commissioned painted wood panels that will be hidden in natural landscapes throughout Polk County.
Clues for these panels will be released every few days from June 1 – 19 on Polk County Conservation’s social media, and then it will be a race against time for you to find each print first. Once you find the print, you get to keep it (one print per family please), and then notify us and others that it has been found by posting a picture on social media, tagging Polk County Conservation, Mainframe Studios, and the Great Outdoors Foundation.

• If you don’t have social media, please e-mail us a photo with the panel you found at info@greatoutdoorsfoundation.org.

An All Yards Art Show about playing with #yardwork

How to participate: https://www.rachelbuse.com/dsmemeraldcity.html

For the 6th annual Art Week Des Moines, you are invited to participate in a city-wide art installation. Rainbows, thank you notes to postal workers and teddy bears in windows are visual ways our communities are reaching out to show support for each other. As we practice social distancing, we continue to find ways to be together, apart. Design your #yardwork installation with materials you have handy at home. Coordinate with your neighborhood on a theme, or surprise everyone with your own vision. You could even use your yard as a performance space.

With lots of yards participating, the Greater Des Moines area will be transformed into DSM Emerald City. Driving, walking and biking through neighborhoods will provide unexpected surprises from a safe, social distance. This project is initiated by local artists Rachel Buse and Christopher Chivetta. Both are sculptors interested in working in nature and use material and color to explore meaningful interactions with people.

DSM Emerald City will be promoted for viewing the week of Art Week Des Moines, June 19th-26th. Follow Art Week Des Moines on Facebook and Instagram. Use the hashtag #dsmemeraldcity and #artweekdsm2020 when posting on social media.
