More SWARMy goodness on the way
The machine art community in the Bay Area is one of the most vibrant scenes in the world. We’ve benefited enormously from our talented friends and colleagues in the area. Now it’s time to give back: we will be appearing on two consecutive nights at the SomArts gallery, to benefit two very worthy causes. Here’s the scoop:
Who: Those mavens of lipstick and accelerants, The Flaming Lotus Girls
What: A Gallery Show Fundraiser for the FLG’s!
When: Friday, November 30th, 2007, 7pm-1am
Where: Somarts Gallery 934 Brannan Street, San Francisco
Why: Because YOU want to see more super giant fire art!
Come join the hot ladies (and gentlemen) of the world-famous Flaming
Lotus Girls fire art group for an evening of art, flame and fabulous
outfits.Over 40 different photographers and a handful of local artists have
donated their art for a silent auction benefiting the FLG’s, so they
can continue their quest for world domination through stainless steel
and kerosene.The rest of the world deserves to see The Serpent Mother in all of her
168-foot majesty. Come enjoy the all the art and make this and other
amazing projects possible!
And also this the very next night:
