We had a great time in the summer and fall working with the community of KGO. At the closing meeting of the Bridging Team, we agreed that the project had been rewarding for all of us involved and we are proud of the accomplishments of the first year working on and under the bridge.<br />We thank everyone who participated; as painters, planners, funders, supporters and passers-by. The comments and encouragement of the people who live in the area, were much appreciated. We hope you enjoy the legacy of the art work on and under the bridge and the batik banners on the hydro poles. (Those will have to come down in the new year.)<br /><br />We really hope to find the funds to continue in 2011. Here is a link to a short prologue video. A final video will be online soon.<br /><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/17834302">http://vimeo.com/17834302</a>The KGO Bridging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06616906196821466667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056414634807248337.post-66744330105420272552010-09-17T15:14:00.005-04:002010-09-17T15:40:38.592-04:00SUBTEXT: Multi-arts Festival<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/TJPBPUsryRI/AAAAAAAAAiY/vFRAZTEhOuE/s1600/DSC03578.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517966437457316114" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/TJPBPUsryRI/AAAAAAAAAiY/vFRAZTEhOuE/s320/DSC03578.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/TJPALCS3cDI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/YpqXWcD0Ed4/s1600/DSC03583.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517965264286085170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/TJPALCS3cDI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/YpqXWcD0Ed4/s320/DSC03583.JPG" /></a><br /><div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/TJPAJ_PabpI/AAAAAAAAAiA/SkLhNUFJIms/s1600/DSC03582.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517965246286425746" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/TJPAJ_PabpI/AAAAAAAAAiA/SkLhNUFJIms/s320/DSC03582.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/TJPAJW-MTkI/AAAAAAAAAh4/pwbEYM1rw-A/s1600/DSC03555.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517965235476778562" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/TJPAJW-MTkI/AAAAAAAAAh4/pwbEYM1rw-A/s320/DSC03555.JPG" /></a><br /><div><br /><div>SUBTEXT FESTIVAL took place under the bridge on Sept. 11 & 12.

The images reflect the natural environment and the activities of the community that take place on and under the bridge. It is deliberately designed to have a subtle impact from a distance, with more detailed elements to be enjoyed by the people who walk, cycle, skate board or ride their motorized wheel chairs across the bridge. </div><div></div><div><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/105060217064551231983/BridgeArtMural?feat=directlink">http://picasaweb.google.com/105060217064551231983/BridgeArtMural?feat=directlink</a></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><br /><embed height="192" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="288" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F105060217064551231983%2Falbumid%2F5517942235767195601%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US"></embed>The KGO Bridging Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06616906196821466667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056414634807248337.post-83870373797297881882010-08-26T16:43:00.002-04:002010-08-26T16:46:30.409-04:00Getting the word out<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__jX4uMLpkq0/THbSiXTw-WI/AAAAAAAAAaw/oSN1pEBg_og/s1600/South+View+of+Lawrence+Avenue+bridge.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

It was an enjoyable afternoon and right off the bat we discovered that there were several backgrounds of dance in one room from a cheerleader to a European dance crew member. But the only thing that really counted was their love of dance and openness to whatever crazy thing Kevin would through at them next.
