The Sun Runner Magazine is hosting our Desert Writers Celebration on Saturday, September 24, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Tamma's Magic Mercantile in Old Town Yucca Valley in conjunction with publication of The Sun Runner's fifth annual Desert Writers Issue. Desert writers and poets, including contributors to the Desert Writers Issue, will be reading from their work, and some will be hosting signings of their books during the event. There will be refreshments and the opportunity for writers and poets, who often work in relative isolation, to meet each other and share their work. In addition, The Sun Runner's Desert Writers Celebration is part of 100 Thousand Poets for Change, a global event taking place on September 24 with 650 individual events in 450 cities in 95 countries around the globe, in a demonstration and celebration of poetry to promote serious social, environmental, and political change. Poems from poets around the world will be read during the Desert Writers Celebration, in addition to works by desert poets, as part of 100 Thousand Poets for Change.

The Sun Runner is also hosting Drawn from the Desert, an arts benefit for local artist Kim Mayhew, during the hours of the Desert Writers Celebration. Donated works of art from around the country have been arriving as part of the benefit to help raise funds for Mayhew's cancer treatment. The works will be on sale Saturday evening. Drawn from the Desert is a collaborative benefit by The Sun Runner Magazine, Glitter Bitches Handmade, and Tamma's Magic Mercantile. The public is invited to attend the Desert Writers Celebration and Drawn from the Desert arts benefit, to listen to writers and poets read their work, meet them and discuss their work, obtain signed copies of their books, and browse works of art for sale to raise funds in support of a local artist.

The Sun Runner Magazine is the magazine of the real California desert. The publication is based in Joshua Tree, and will celebrate its 17th birthday in January, 2012.

Vendor Call Newsletter Questionnaire

Hello everyone!

As most of you know, I'm pretty on top of the craft show scene here in Toronto. I participate in as many shows as humanly (and financially!) possible.  Over the years, I've been asked by fellow artists to keep them apprised of vendor calls across the city and I have to the best of my abilities.

But my list of artist friends has grown and grown and keeping everyone up-to-date (via email and Facebook) has become quite a task! That's why I'm asking you all to fill out this questionnaire: For less than a cup of coffee per month, you can receive vendor calls from in and around the city! Let me spend the time trolling the internet for artistic opportunities... all you have to do is check your email and apply!

So, sound good?

PLEASE TAKE MY QUESTIONNAIRE!

WORLD DOMINATION SCHEDULE: March !!!

CRAFTSTOCK FESTIVAL

Fri. March 4th

8PM - 2AM

Kapisanan Phillipine Center For Arts And Culture

167 Augusta 

(Kensington Market)

Toronto, ON

Facebook Event

DIY craft culture and indie-folk music seem to go together so perfectly in my mind, I decided to make a night out of it with some of the best Toronto-based bands and artists of the genre at the super cool Kapisanan Phillipine Center For Arts and Culture in Kensington.

spirit oak: bre (broken telephone) and mark (thin hotel)'s wonderful super folk duo opens the night with - you guessed it - super folk awesomeness.

http://www.myspac...e.com/THESPIRITOAK

LUM (first rate people sideproject): though first rate people were not able to play due one member's absence, first rate person liam sanagan will be playing a set with or as his sideproject LUM. i would expect insanely hooky folk-pop if his band material is anything to go by. I've been told he will be "rocking the beats."

http://www.myspace.com/firstratepeople
http://www.myspace.com/lumtunes

union duke: phenomenally fun indie-bluegrass band. i lived in halifax for a year and am not the biggest fan of bluegrass, but these guys are amazing and everybody who's seen them says so.

http://www.myspace.com/unionduke

the elwins: indie twee folk pop awesomeness. check out the video for sitting pretty on their myspace.

http://www.myspace.com/theelwins

seoul: fashion-folk from ben landau (formerly of burn planetarium) and crew.

http://www.youtube.com/user/icommaemily#p/u/5/Q0BGF_L25M8

the box tiger and friends (unplugged set): the box tiger have been gaining a lot of momentum in the indie scene, but i asked them if they could unplug for the night and play an acoustic set to show people another side of the band they don't usually see. not only will they be playing their own stuff, but some they'll be joined by some other friends for a little songwriters circle towards the end of the night. stay tuned to find out who will be joing them.

http://www.myspace.com/theboxtigermusic

and there will be a small crafts fair going on. get there early to check out what's for sale while things are quiet, cuz later it's going to get...less quiet...
