11 AM - 8 PM Street Fest LA Website: http://www.streetfestla.com/ Volunteers
Page SALES/ART COORDINATOR: Dehner VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR: Scott PHOTOGRAPHER: TBD Gannon Gray, President, GLBT Productions, 310.663.0766 We all know that it isn't the best crowd for spending money on art yet we have to introduce and educate them to the fine world of the erotic arts. We are doing this because the producers of this event asked us to and to be the organizers of the artists that approached them to be part of this event. It was a first-come and we didn't do any outreach within the artists locally but serving those artists that had requested through the producers to be involved. We don't want to be noted for having any bias towards any particular artists. ToFF will have 1 large tent 20x20 w/ black curtains next to the entrance of B1City.com Alley. We shall have three sides with the walls of the tent covered then the side that faces the walk way of the festival will be open. The center part of that covered so there will be openings on both sides of the center. The center area is where the models will pose on an elevated box that is draped from behind with half circles of chairs around it. The artists booths shall form a like a a rectangular on the other three sides of the tent. SCHEDULE:

Will the set-up crew be asked to man the
booth and flyer from Volunteers will be named on a list at the front gate for admission. |
|
| 03/30/2007 |
Dehner will check on a phone line for the
credit card machine. Basically artists take care of their own sales.
Dehner hasn't spoke to Volker. Organize materials @ warehouse on Saturday
to be picked up Sunday am. Joe Hilton suggests not making the drawing
session too complicated - if there is an admission charge let the artists
pay that. I wouldn't have a separate fee for the drawing nor would I
give them a waiver to come in for free. Dehner would collect from all
the artists some monies to put towards the cost of the tent to assist
in underwriting your providing the tent for the artists and the foundation. |
|
| 03/29/2007 |
The models for drawing are to be paid so
artists need to be changed to draw - how is this to be done? Include,
in e-news announcement, a special invitation to artists to come to Fest
to draw. How do the volunteers get into the festival to assist with
the the setting up and the operation of the tent during the hours of
the event? |
|
| 03/28/2007 |
Goldie wants to make arrangements to pick
up what is needed from the warehouse BEFORE Sunday to make that morning
less stressful. Sharp (and his van) are available on Saturday and Sunday
for transport and can fill in for any shift not covered by a Volunteer.
Will artists handle their own sales? What is the schedule for the models/drawing? |
|
| 03/27/2007 |
Possibility of one more artist showing. Is Volker coordinating art-for-sale? Put a email offer out this week
- "if anyone who purchases art from ToFF Gallery directly - of
over $100 - will get their admission back of $15.00". That might
bring in more that would stay away. Richard Weineke is going to have
lunch w/ Dehner and he might help out. |
|
| 03/26/2007 |
Scott sends out e-mail appeal to Volunteers. Come up with some event we can offer to the 20-something boys so we get them over to ToFF House. Think of doing something really special to pull in Volunteers for break-down. Dehner will find out tomorrow what size are the tents and if we are
still getting four as committed to earlier. ToFF will be selling hard
and strong even though its not a buying crowd. |
|
| 03/24/2007 |
Board Committee decides it is OK to go
ahead with this event. Scott, Sharp and Goldie say they are available
to assist. Dehner will contact Volker to see if he is available to do
ToFF Art Sales. Volunteer appeal to go out ASAP. |
|
| 03/22/2007 |
Do Passports need to be reprinted? Gear
event to younger people. Joe Hilton and Miquel Reyes are both available
to "do" modeling sessions. |

At the hotel we will also show the display of Tom's life that was the focus for last year's events nationally. The selling of ToF merchandise will assist with the costs of us being there. The materials on display from the Archives are only duplicate materials and reproductions and not anything of real $ value. Volker will preview his new special, very limited edition (50) fine art print which the Foundation will offer for sale during the year. NOTE: We are not a member of the LA Leather Coalition.
