Pillllooowwww Fiiiight!

When the miz was just a wee one in elementary school, her mom brought cultural arts programs (dance, theater, film) to a school that otherwise had none. As such she gained an appreciation for the importance of "the arts" yes the daily show counts! Perhaps you are the same? In these "times" as we keep hearing, non-profits and arts programs have taken a hit both monetarily and as a scapegoat - something marginal for the well being of our everyday lives. You know, this is not so.
If you are in the NYC area, please consider attending a twist on a fundraising theme. Wait, was that a boring speech?.......



You are cordially invited on behalf of myself and the Fourth Arts Block '=
event committee to attend a fundraising event - 
no canapes or boring speeches here!

Fourth Arts Block (FAB) is a non-profit organization founded in 2001 by cultural and community groups to establish and advance the East 4th Street Cultural District, between 2nd Avenue and Bowery. FAB is working with our members to create a permanent home for the arts and to preserve the unique cultural nature of East 4th Street, which has fostered creative diversity and experimentation for more than 30 years. FAB advocates for the cultural district, its members and our neighborhood; leads centralized projects that benefit our members and provides a model for sustainable development; creates opportunities for cultural expansion; directs marketing and promotion efforts; and supports the development and capacity of our members.

In October 2005, Mayor Bloomberg officially designated East 4th Street a Cultural District - one of two in the City - and sold 8 properties to the long time cultural groups for $8. With 17 performance and multi-media venues, the district already offers one of the most vibrant concentrations of cultural organizations in the city. When the district's cultural plan is complete, space for artists and arts organizations will nearly double.

Miss Wit Designs Political Tees in Exhibition

Brooklyn, NY -  Brooklyn based T-shirt design emporium, Miss Wit Designs, & creator
Deborah Goldstein announce participation in the Chicago based Gallery Three-Walls exhibit,
Dispatch: Cloth, Print and the Political. Selected from hundreds of submissions, the Miss Wit controversial
Palin Institute of Abstinence tee, as well as the
Generation O, Community Organizer and the original Jon Stewart for President tees, will be featured along side other designers in this exhibition of grass-roots political efforts, micro-capitalism and the intersection between the commercial and craft in print media. Dispatch makes visible, en masse, both the artistry and sheer multitude of designs that were made in support of the 2008 presidential and associated campaigns.

Miss Wit Designs started in March 2003 by then social work graduate student Deborah Goldstein - whimsically blending a child of the eighties pop culture flair with a social work and socially conscious background, her line of tees make constant attempts to capture the pop-cultural zeitgeist and embrace the humor, irony and beauty and sometimes "you just have to laugh" absolute absurdity of daily living. In collaboration with Superba Graphics design house, and family and friends, Miss Wit's designs have been found in numerous transgenerational, "trans-topical" locations from gossip sites and publications like People Magazine to fashion, and political commentary sites like Wonkette.com.

The T-shirt arguably considered an American invention, insofar as it is worn as one's primary garment, and not an undershirt, became a substrate for advertising and political support in the 1950s. Since then it has played an invaluable role in the promotion of politics, sub-culture, music, leisure activities, businesses, sports team, personal slogans and more. The T-shirt is the walking, talking billboard - and probably still the most effective and inexpensive way to get a message out!
