CAR_Leigh — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:55:03 -0500

Donor-centered relationship building: do this well and you'll significantly improve your donor retention. But where do you start? This audio conference teaches you the essentials of building lasting donor relationships. You will learn how to upgrade your fundraising program from one that is merely "transaction-based" to one that is profitably "relationship-based." You will learn to become truly donor-centric and avoid counter-productive -- yet common -- "donor-indifferent" behaviors. You'll take a guided tour of the eight steps that guarantee good relationships.

Meniscus

gingerkrebs — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:50:41 -0500

<Meniscus is a butoh-based work for four dancers, two musicians and a small herd of animated objects. The performance takes place in a church, and like the church’s architecture, negotiates tensions between the restricted but verifiable horizontal plane, and the soaring but insubstantial promise of altitude. Surfacing throughout are themes of buoyancy, ventriloquism, aqua aerobics, shallow sea ecology, science fiction, disappearance, and prayer.> more...

Inkbombed - Social Graffiti And Hip-Hop In The Millennium

insightarts — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:08:06 -0500

Inkbombed is an art exhibit by Hugostyle “STEP ONE” which explores graffiti and hip-hop's role in addressing social, racial and economic justice. Since graffiti's earliest forms, globally it has been utilized as a tool for the voiceless and oppressed to express their struggle for social change and draw awareness to issues affecting their communities. Hip-hop's roots in poor inner-city communities are undeniable. Despite the current focus on bling, fame and clubbing, graffiti and hip-hop are still valuable and effective ways to promote progressive social justice movements today. Join us at the opening of Inkbombed as we celebrate the socially conscious side of graffiti and hip-hop. The evening will feature spoken word, art, performances, music, and a panel discussion.

Performers include Segundas Productions, Army of Juan, Misha Ferguson, and Rominna Villaseñor. Also featuring Step One, Eams, Static, About, and more.
