The next MAPP happening. ..

Saturday, June 5th, 1pm-Midnight

 

MISSION ARTS & PERFORMANCE PROJECT

"BEST ART ALL OVER THE HOOD" Best of the Bay, SF Bay Guardian 2006


The MAPP is a homegrown bimonthly intercultural multidisciplinary unruly neighborhood cultural happening. It’s not an “art walk” (thank god). Instead, it’s a collage of 10-15 odd spaces transformed into mini-cultural centers, focused on the intimate experiences of culture and people. The charm of the MAPP is that you never know quite what’s going to happen until you get there, so don’t be miffed if you can’t find up-to-date information ahead of time. The point is to arrive, and embrace the adventure. Plus, you’ll get a program (with an actual map) to navigate the event.

Please be advised, no one is in charge. While there are a few organizers that may help to direct new inquiries, there is, in actuality, no central committee or curatorial staff. The MAPP is a non-centralised open platform, intended to facilitate diverse artistic-cultural participation at a neighborhood level.

For the June 2010 MAPP, the ACTA Artist Salon joins the Poppy to present a combined evening of traditional and contemporary art. Evening performances begin with La Mesa ("the table" in Spanish), a traditional arts salon featuring the work of culture bearers in our own backyards who are current or former artists in ACTA's programs. These performances will highlight several world class artists up close and personal sharing and talking about their art. The salon is then followed by the Poppy's programming of artists. See the line-up below.

NOTE: The MAPP features anywhere form 15-20 locations! Listed below is the line-up for the Red Poppy Art House. To find out about other locations, go to www.sfmapp.com, or just come out to the MAPP and you'll receive a printed program.

MAPP PROGRAMS will be available on the day of the event, but not sooner (except for momments of divine intervention). This is due to the nature of the project - that of trying to organize 100 artists with no money, paid staff, or singular infrastructure. We call it "mapp magic" - the rule of improvisation - down to the last minute. But always be certain, if you just show up with an open mind, you'll find your way.

MAPP Meetings

MAPP meetings are open to anyone interested in becoming involved in the MAPP. Meetings begin with an informal half hour to share a glass of wine, coffee, tea, etc. This gives a little extra time for people to arrive. We do ask that newcomers try and understand that we often have material to cover during meetings and, therefore, it is helpful to wait until after the meeting for general questions about the MAPP. For location and dates of MAPP meetings, contact Noemi, our House Manager.

 


 

 

***COMING SOON:

WORKSHOPS - The MAPP will soon be offering free workshops (performance & visual art) during the day of the MAPP event. Please check back for updates.
