If you or anyone you know has a video camera and might be willing to spend part of the night of the 20th filming this event, please have them email me directly at <a href="mailto:web@artists-ball.org">web@artists-ball.org</a>. You never know...you could see yourself partying it up the night of Inauguration in a video in the not-too-distant future. :)</p> <p>Peace,<br />Drex<br />Art of Change Web Guru</p> http://artists-ball.org/blog/2009/01/13/videographers_needed#comments Tue, 13 Jan 2009 01:19:03 -0500 Drex 111 at http://artists-ball.org http://artists-ball.org/blog/2009/01/10/you_want_art_weve_got_art <p>Thanks to the tireless efforts of our art coordinators, Faith Flanagan and Kristina Bilonick, we can now post our first round of artists whose work will be on display at the Art of Change!
