free life center

the free life center truck
On today's morning walk, I came across this truck (parked outside the home of Timothy Karpinski of the Together Gallery http://www.togethergallery.com/) and its art...intrigued, I followed the link to learn about the Free Life Center. http://www.freelifecenter.com/ Here's from their website:
"Mark Warren Jacques and Seth Neefus are two Portland-based artists embarking on a dream. Free Life Center houses their optimism and creativity, and you are invited to join them as they take their mobile art center on a nomadic journey...Whether it is a traditional gallery space or a site-specific event outdoors, these vagabond dreamers will host community events, musical performances, workshops, drawing parties, and more within the walls of the Free Life Center. Inspired by the community of free thinkers around them, they bring knowledge of creativity and simplicity to encourage others to share the "free life" with them."

I know and have admired Seth Neefus' work from shows the Together Gallery on NE Alberta (http://www.togethergallery.com/) and I love this collaboration with Mark Warren Jacques. What a perfect treasure find to celebrate the end of my own free summer!

Here's a video from the free life center website (I haven't figure out how to insert it here directly): http://vimeo.com/5569148
