Museo {i}menos presents…
The Poor Man's Portable Printing Press
(a stencil making workshop)
 
Museo {i}menos and founder René Z.Garza  (956.534.1997), Museoimenos@gmail.com

The workshop includes a brief history of the stenciled image and basic stencil making techniques. You can make your own images, freely and ready to reproduce, using this historic, democratic art. We will also make a collective work of art for future exhibition.

The stencil making workshop will be held
Sunday , January 22, 2006
1:30 – 4:30
Weslaco Public Library Meeting Room,
525 S. Kansas Avenue
Weslaco, Texas 78596

This is the first of twelve monthly workshops in 2006 held by the Museo to promote independent arts and independent arts practice (that is to say art with very little resources). Donations are accepted but not required to take part in Museo {i}menos activities. It is our goal to make artistic practice accessible to everyone.

To participate you will need to attend with posterboard, an exacto-type knife, a can of spray paint and something to paint your image on. Also, {i}menos will lend you materials or they may be purchased as they are available.

Museo {i}menos is a different kind of museum without walls, formal attire or admission fees. We pop up wherever we can and even in some places that we can not. Museo {i}menos is a work of art.  We are an independent arts museum currently developing mail art and stencil art events, collections and workshops (but many more independent arts exist and need to be included). Our goal is to make art public and the only real way to do that is to have the public produce its own art. It is only through active participation that art becomes truly public.
