Aspen Didges Looking for New Homes

Hopinjon — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:35:14 GMT

Time for that first didge or ready for an upgrade? I have 5 locally harvested and crafted Aspen didges ready for new homes.

Four, made personally by me, were made using the split and hollow method, finished with enviro-tech epoxy, then hand rubbed with tung and food grade walnut oils. These are in the Keys of D, B & E.

The fifth is a fine Ben Hicks Aspen stick in the Key of E.

All are available for play and purchase. The price ranges from $225-$300; cash only.

Music-ness!

Zel — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 20:27:37 GMT

Hi, Everybody!

I am excited to announce that my first music project (called Eka, which means "one") is now on emusic, for those who subscribe there.
It's also available on Snowcap via MySpace: myspace.com/zelhayal

Some people prefer having a cd, and those are also available now! I'll soon be selling them on my website: www.zelhayal.com (mp3 downloads are available there, too) and also on cdbaby.com.

However, if anyone is interested in getting one sooner, they are $10 plus $3 shipping on PayPal (zeleclectica@yahoo.com). I'm also willing to do hand delivery if I'll happen to be seeing you soon!

Thanxxxxx!!!!!!

Three Troupes, One Choreography...

Zel — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 00:32:32 GMT

For Beyond the Veil in November, our three belly dance troupes: Serpent Moon, RaksBenazir and Ama'la are doing an opening number together. So we have a cabaret group, then two tribal groups that are still rather different, getting together for one routine. We've had a number of rehearsals now, and....it's working!

This is the first time I've ever done anything like this, so I had some doubts at first....but it's gonna be so cool!

The Bohemian Artists' Guild Mission Statement

Zel — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 03:52:31 GMT

Beautifully written by the lovely and talented Laura of Tribe Ama'la:

Bohemian: “A socially unconventional person; an artist or a writer.”

‘Happiness..it lies in the joy of Acheivement, in the thrill of creative effort.’ V. VanGogh

Mission Statement

The Bohemian Artists’ Guild is Colorado’s own eclectic mix of all types of performance artists, dancers, musicians & visual artists.

Our mission, simply put, is to never stop having the desire to create, and in doing so, letting this positivity spill over into everything and everyone we touch.

Being called by art, even defined by it, can be hard work, but it gives back by letting us be our most complete selves.

Now within the sodality and support of our guild, we will continue to be hungry for the next performance or project before the current one is even completed.

With great happiness and accomplishment, we bring you the Bohemian Artists’ Guild.

“ I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream.’ V. VanGogh

Philosophy

We came together not only out of desire for our art, but also out of a true need to be with and supported by others with the same drive and passion for art.

A common thread that bonds our little community together is our shared perseverance.

‘I am not an adventurer by choice, but by fate.’ Picasso

Being born an artist is not a choice, but a calling. Within this lies the inability to give up on our many talents, even though at times it is more painful when we stifle our creative sides. It’s like missing a limb.

‘Artists don’t get down to work until the pain of working is exceeded by the pain of not working.’ Hippocrates

For the majority of us the work that sustains us financially and our art are not one and the same; at least not yet. Though our arts to do not currently support us in the form of currency, the expressiveness and soulfulness that comes from our creativity is what feeds us spiritually and emotionally.

‘Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.’ Picasso

So, then, it is the very substance of creativity-that fire in the belly that allows us to transcend the often-felt frustration, and gives us the ability to preserve the integrity and heartfullness of our creativity.

‘While I dance, I cannot judge
I cannot hate
I cannot separate
myself from evil
I can only be joyful
and whole.’
That’s why I dance.’
Hans Bos

Homegrown "fusion" music

I'm pretty excited!

Elusis — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 04:48:08 GMT

Raks Benazir will be among performers at the closing reception for "Guest Check: Not Just Queer Artists" on Saturday, July 28th. This reception is not only to celebrate the artists' work, but is also a benefit for The Other Side Arts, the hosting gallery, and The Sent(a)Mental Project: A Memorial to GLBTIQ Suicides, which works to create awareness of the high suicide risk queer youth face.

The reception will feature live music, belly dancing, readings, and more.

TOSA Mission Statement:

Mission Statement

The Other Side Arts (TOSA) is a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging personal expression, building community, creating dialogue, and increasing tolerance through art. TOSA provides arts instruction and exhibition opportunities to historically underserved populations, youth, artists, and the general public. TOSA creates an exploratory environment that emphasizes inclusion and inherent worth.

Founded in 2002, The Other Side Arts began by securing a run-down, trash-filled anchor and bolts factory in downtown Denver. This challenging space has since been converted into an arts center filled with educational spaces, two galleries, more than 15 artist studios, a community center, a metal shop, a darkroom, and screen printing studio.

Since its inception, The Other Side Arts has served the Denver community through free children’s workshops, art exhibitions, the Alliance monthly publication, festivals, art auctions, outreach, interactive art events where the general public creates the art that fills the gallery itself, studio spaces, tours and art instruction to school and youth groups, exhibition space for school groups and other nonprofits, and a free community gallery that provides exhibition space to emerging artists.

The Other Side Arts has accomplished all of its goals through the hard work and dedication of majority volunteer staff and the continued support of community members.

Why are we here?

Zel — Thu, 10 May 2007 21:24:40 GMT

This is the new Tribe for the Bohemian Artist's Guild in Denver, Colorado. For now, this tribe will be moderated, meaning folks must receive approval to join. We'll discuss making the group public at some point, which will be good so that we can begin promotion.

Anyway, while I am currently talking to myself here, once people join up, please feel free to post topics, etc. and any suggestions are appreciated :)
