Beats and Brushstrokes, the annual fundraiser for the University of Oregon student chapter of the Emerging Leaders in the Arts Network (ELAN), will be held on Friday, Feb 25th, 2011. The event will feature live music, DJ’s, a donated beer/wine bar, and a silent auction featuring original works of art created by utilizing old records. All funds raised go to support ELAN’s arts programming for the University of Oregon and Eugene community.

At this time, ELAN is seeking local artists and University of Oregon students to donate an original work of art to be placed for auction. Using a vinyl record or record sleeve as a canvas, artists can create paintings, collages, mixed-media, sculptural works, etc. Anything goes as long as the record or sleeve is used as the main canvas. Artists may provide their own record or sleeve, or can contact ELAN to provide these items free of charge.

This fundraiser is a great opportunity to build your arts network, support your local arts community, and have an opportunity to share your artistic vision with the Eugene arts community.

All finished works should be turned in to an ELAN representative no later than Monday, February 21st, 2011 by 5pm at the AAD Resource Room (256 Lawrence) on the University of Oregon campus. If you are unable to deliver in person and need to arrange for shipping or pick-up, please contact Sara Bateman at sbateman@uoregon.edu.

Further details including time and location for the Beats and Brushstrokes event will be released shortly.
