Extreme Makeover: Satellite Studios Edition

Extreme Makeover: Satellite Studios Edition

Hi All

We’re looking for volunteers to come out this Saturday, Sept 5th between 9am and 4pm and help Pump Project build walls, paint, clean and landscape over at our new 2nd location, Satellite Studios at 1109 Shady Lane. 
We really need skilled labor- those of you who know how to frame a wall, hang drywall, run electrical and tape and float- however if you can’t do any of those things we’d love to have you come and help anyway-there is plenty to do! This invitation is open to everyone so if you have friends, colleagues or significant others who may want to help send them our way- Even a few hours of your time would be very much appreciated!

PLEASE RSVP!!

If you’re on Facebook, You can RSVP thru Pump Project’s Fan Page; if you’re not on facebook, click here to RSVP

We’d like to know:

  • If you have skills in any of the above listed areas
  • If you have tools you can bring that can be borrowed for the day (ex: extra step ladders, shovels, cordless drills, brooms, etc)
  • What time you are available on Saturday.

Food will be provided!

We hope to build out two new studio spaces, finish painting and do some landscaping – come see the new space and get involved!

Thanks in advance for your effort.

Artist Debra Broz talks about the vital role of arts in the growing Austin community and her restoration business, Science of Art. Please visit www.scienceofartrestoration.com for more information about porcelain and china restoration. 

Excerpt from Docubloggers: 
Debra and the Pump Project Art Complex are a small group of artists clinging on to one of the things that make Austin unique: its local art. This is a community full of creativity – yet its this very creativity that draws people to Austin and ends up forcing the artists further from the soul of the city. Its a noble fight. A city without art is a cold, unfeeling place.
