Pop Up Art Show in Kernersville Saturday April 16 2016

This clip is from a pop-up art show in the NoHo district of the San Fernando Valley in Southern California.  NoHo is the hipster/marketing term for a part of North Hollywood, California.  I picked this clip because I actually lived and worked in North Hollywood in 1990-91, when that area was totally ghetto.  Contrary to the name, North Hollywood is not the north part of Hollywood.  It's actually a seperate city over the big hill from Hollywood.  Sometime after I moved away, they started calling part of it NoHo to build an art scene, and obviously, it worked.

My name is Steve Emig, as you've figured out by now, and I'm spearheading a pop-up art show this Saturday, April 16, 2016, here in Kernersville, North Carolina.  The location is a little road named Abbotts Trace Drive.  The road is one block long, and right behind the Wendy's and Dairy-O on route 66, just north of regular I-40.  Or "New 40" as many call it.  Why there?  Because I used to walk around that area every morning, it's open, and there are plenty of places to park and to buy snacks nearby.  Just park there on Abbotts Trace, and look for anyone with artwork in, on, around or near their car.  The hours are 1pm to 3pm.  It's open to everyone of any age who does arts and crafts or has an interest in arts and crafts.

Why am I doing this?  Mostly because I'm tired of sitting in my "studio" (aka bedroom/laundry room) drawing pictures and not talking to other artists.  This is an experiment, I have no idea who will show up, except me.  I've never been to a pop-up art show before.  I don't know how they're supposed to go.  It just sounded like a fun way to meet some other creative people here in ol' K-Vegas.

Here's all I'm asking... if you show up, bring some work of your own, if you have any.  If not, that's cool, check out the work of those who do show up.  The weather it supposed to be partly sunny and in the 60's, so it should be pretty nice out.  If you want to take photos of anyone's work, ask first, some people aren't cool with that.  Bring your creative spirit and have some fun.  Come and go as you please.  If you head to the nearby restaurants, be cool.  They have nothing to do with this.  I have no idea who will show or what will happen.  Like most creative endeavors, the spontaneity is part of the fun.  Obey the traffic laws and any others that may apply.  This not organized, sanctioned, or official in any way.  It's just a bunch of people hanging out and talking about creative stuff or whatever topic comes up.  See you there.
