SUMMARY:Tales of Modern Rocketry Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of nine weeks in the fall of 2012\, the sixth-grade “Rocket Writers” of the new Gordon Science & Arts Academy met for a workshop with Nat Akin\, our director of outreach & education\, to compose creative work for the first book-length project of our new after-school arts program\, story booth.Tales of Modern Rocketry is the collection of science fiction stories dreamed up by these young writers\, each accompanied by an original illustration from artist Derrick Dent\, and introduced with a foreword by former NASA astronaut Dr. Rhea Seddon\, one of the first women selected for the Space Shuttle program. \nOn Thursday\, February 7\, Crosstown Arts celebrated this book release at a launch party with the families\, friends\, and faculty of Gordon Science & Arts Academy in our new performance and exhibition space at 430 N. Cleveland. After mingling over music and food\, the writers read excerpts from their stories to public applause. Then the book was officially unveiled to the student writers and the gathered audience\, and the young writers were on hand to sign copies of the book. \nThis book and event serve as the first public “picture” of the kind of collaborative\, creative work story booth intends to do with middle- and high-school students in the greater Crosstown community. If you’re a young person who might be interested in participating in our programs\, or an adult interested in volunteering to help with projects like this\, there’s more information here. \nThursday\, February 7\, 5 to 6:30 pm\n430 N. Cleveland \nMusic by DJ Siphne Sylve at 5 pm; Student readings at 5:30 pm; Book signing at 6 pm \nSee examples of artist Derrick Dent’s work at www.derrickdent.com. \nLearn more about Gordon Science & Arts Academy at www.gestaltcs.org/gordonscienceandartsacademy. \n

SUMMARY:Beacon Block Party
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, August 23\, Crosstown Arts hosted a block party to celebrate the installation of the spinning bike wheel sculpture\, aka Beacon\, by artists Colin Kidder and Eli Gold. We were excited to recognize the artists and the community members who helped make this project happen. \nThe concept for Beacon was proposed by the artists at Crosstown Arts’ Memfeast 2 in April 2011 and was made possible with support from Memphians Harry Freeman and Sara Ratner. \nSpecial thanks to Sara Ratner and Harry Freeman\, Grinder Taber and Grinder\, Inc.\, Peddler Bike Shop and Outdoors\, Inc.\n\nMany thanks to the Fuel Food Truck\, Yolo and Dwayne Butcher for the food; and to Tout Lemon\, Jeremy Shrader\, Sean Murphy\, Jamie Harmon and Amurica photobooth\, Patrick and the drumline for entertainment\, and Andrew J. Breig for the beautiful photos of the event.\n\nArtists’ Statement \nBeacon is an eye-catching kinetic sculpture that moves dramatically in the natural wind and shines brightly with reflected sunlight. It is made out of 51 repurposed bicycle wheels. Beacon also draws attention to the developing Memphis Greenline\, which runs one block north of the sculpture. We want this sculpture to serve as a creative beacon\, arousing interest in Crosstown Arts and in the Crosstown neighborhood. \nHomepage photo by Karlyn Houcek\, kalrnyography studios \nPhotos by  Andrew J Breig\, Matt Futrell\, and Jamie Harmon

SUMMARY:Robin Salant: Crosstown Lights
DESCRIPTION:Winning Project: Memfeast 2 \nFrom the Commercial Appeal: \nCrosstown canvas comes alive with color\nFrom Staff Reports\nTuesday\, September 20\, 2011 \n\nA large crowd on Friday night witnessed the artful lighting of the main body of the old Sears Crosstown building. \nScores of cars pulled into the parking lot on Cleveland near North Parkway for a different kind of tailgating event. \nNearly 300 windows form a large grid on the south side of the vacant building. About 40 windows in the middle were used by artist Robin Salant as a canvas for her colorful\, moving light\, all to the delight of onlookers. \nNext\, eyes will turn to the art deco tower at the front of the 1.4 million-square-foot building. \nSalant will light its windows with moving color starting at 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 22. \nShe won a Crosstown Arts commission in a MemFEAST event to create art that brings attention to the planned redevelopment of the long-vacant building. \nFlipping the switch on the tower lights will be part of another event at Cleveland at North Parkway on Oct. 22.
