One last attempt to offer you the chance to purchase discount tickets to the "Diversity of Devotion" Benefit concert on July 26th, 6:30 - 8:30 pm.    We only need a handful of people to purchase a pair of $25 tickets or as singles.....otherwise the Benefit will be CANCELLED.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realize there are many worthwhile causes to donate to, but this event is entirely created by artists and funded by artists. DOD was an inspired  idea which turned into a challenging  project and unique photo competition which as never been done before in NYC. All of us who participated have been moved and effected by this project and the special people we encountered  along the way.  It would be a shame to not be able to share this work with the public and with each other. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Benefit Jazz concert and slide show will be an enjoyable evening of music, photography, drinks and discussions --but unfortunately it will be cancelled if we do not meet the quota this week, to book the event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you participated in the DOD competition, please consider donating by attending this evening of great Jazz music and slide show of DOD submissions.  If you did not participate but only registered, come by and see what you missed!  Meet other photographers and network!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to all who have sent in their checks thus far.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated.  We are working hard to make Diversity of Devotion exhibit and reception in DUMBO a  special evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you send me an email "promise" to purchase tickets, we will have the Jazz For Peace organization put up a Pay Pal link and you can purchase tickets easily that way.  But I need to hear from you today! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks again and hope you are all enjoying the summer!&lt;br /&gt;Jenny Jozwiak&lt;br /&gt;Project Director and Curator "DOD"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mail:jenny@positivefocus.org"&gt;jenny@positivefocus.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7391482097386224641-168771501421512488?l=postivefocus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://postivefocus.blogspot.com/feeds/168771501421512488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7391482097386224641&amp;postID=168771501421512488' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7391482097386224641/posts/default/168771501421512488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7391482097386224641/posts/default/168771501421512488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://postivefocus.blogspot.com/2007/06/diversity-of-devotion-benefit-concert.html' title='&quot;Diversity of Devotion Benefit Concert&quot;  is in your hands....'/><author><name>Lionel Martinez</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08092574925356576780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391482097386224641.post-1336300538561217151</id><published>2007-06-24T22:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-24T22:19:45.615-07:00</updated><title type='text'>OPEN CALL TO  ARTISTS!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;11th annual d.u.m.b.o.  art under the bridge festival&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;September 28, 29, and  30, 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;Produced by the  d.u.m.b.o. arts center (dac)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; (dac) is seeking proposals for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROJECT GLOW&lt;br /&gt; ________________________________________&lt;br /&gt; Proposals are being accepted for installations  and sculptures that incorporate light to  illuminate the waterfront, Empire Fulton Ferry  State Park, and Brooklyn Bridge Park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Deadline: July 1, 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATION AND  SCULPTURE&lt;br /&gt; ________________________________________&lt;br /&gt; We are seeking site-specific sculpture,  installations, and environmental interventions on  the waterfront, bridges, streets, in parks, and  elsewhere.
