Some Stuff That We Do

Mercado

Mercado is our sort-of bimonthly artist market. The first few were a total hoot and the next one will be along soon.

Trails

Trails Forepaw‘s monthly drawing night/ publishing experiment just keeps getting better.

Tape Projects

Tape Projects are holding a series of artist talks at our place, usually on the last monday of every month. Check their site for info.

Run! You Beasts!

Run! You Beasts! This is the short film and video compilation DVD we helped Pip make in 2006. R!YB! II is now seeking submissions!

Summer Winds

Summer Winds are putting on monthly shows here from now on. Each night is a smorgasbord of artschool punk and herky-jerky hottness, with hand-picked performers from all over the country and beyond.

Head Muzak

Head Muzak was an interactive installation by Michael Prior that lived at Forepaw in March of this year. You can watch the little video we made and read the artists statement here.

Trails #2


Sorry 'bout the lack of updates lately — been a bit slow on the shopfront front. But…

Do not forget people, this month's TRAILS is TONITE, Tuesday the 29th of August. Bring pens, friends, the usual, + flex those drawing nodes. Anyone up for doing some Monster Fight Comix? We'll talk about it. Oh, and if we don't fuck things up, there should be copies of the zine containing work from last month's Trails. You should see this stuff — SO much great work. And more to come this time, I bet. More words about Trails here.
