We’ve got some great visual submissions, but still only one video, so hopefully you’ll be able to make some more work before the deadline! (You can submit things up to the end of Monday, Mar 2)
Check out this latest submission from a former Philadelphia resident, who’s voicing her concern for her beloved Philly all the way from Florida!
Check out this gorgeous print made by Shakira Bowman (a 9th grade student at CAPA and participant in Beth Pulcinella’s ‘Print for Change’ community silkscreen workshops.)
I’m extending the deadline until March 10, because rumor has it that a certain group of Philadelphia students are performing a play next week that centers around an anti-casino protest, and I’d like to give them a chance to submit some video. (Seeing as we only have one video entry so far, as brilliant as it is!) – this buys the rest of you a little bit more time as well!
As we approach that deadline, a few more submissions have come in – see below for some powerful drawings and photographs- if we get enough other content, we’ll have to organize an exhibit of this material. But right now we could still use some more submissions, so please encourage your visual/creative friends to make us some artwork!
With less than two weeks until the March 2 deadline, we don’t have a lot of entries (but check out this amazing video entry below!). That means it might be pretty easy for you to win, if you make us something cool asap! Remember, Tshirt + Poster designs or a video of any sort. If you’re interested but lacking inspiration, drop a line to jj@jjtiziou.net and I’ll throw some random ideas your way.
Check out what happens when a few cute teddybears venture down the gambling road below:
The anti-casino movement needs more artists and creative people involved. Please make us some creative designs to help us inform and rally our neighbors!
The latest Casino-Free Philadelphia tshirts are a hit – so much so that they got a mention in The Wall Street Journal!
Also, check out the great slot-machine-terminator-illustration by Evan M. Lopez in this week’s City Paper to get an idea of how artists can help convey this message in creative ways.
Opportunity for creative individuals to showcase their work and help determine the direction of our city:
Prepare your entries to help keep our city casino-free!
For an introduction to the issues, see this history of Casino-Free Philadelphia, or read the article in PhillyMag.
Entries will be highlighted here and on Casino-Free Philadelphia’s website. Winning entries will be produced by CFP. Prizes will include a free photoshoot from JJ Tiziou Photography, gift certificates for Studio 34 Yoga, art supplies and more. But I think we can all agree that the biggest prize of all will be a city that continues to be Casino-Free!
