Come celebrate Beth’s birthday with us in the lush backyard garden of our friendly neighborhood bar, the Wild Side West. Bring no gifts. However, we’ll bring along some copies of our new book to sell, and it would make Beth (and Annie) very happy for you to buy a book and take it home if you want one. We’ll sign and decorate it for you. Plus we’ll have a book hunt and give away some swag. Maybe even play a party game, like a free book hunt, (think easter egg hunt).

EXTRACTION: Art on the Edge of the Abyss

Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/anniesprinkle
We are in this exhibition.
EXTRACTION: Art on the Edge of the Abyss is a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention which seeks to provoke societal change by exposing and interrogating the negative social and environmental consequences of industrialized natural resource extraction. A global coalition of artists and creators committed to shining a light on all forms of extractive industry—from mining and drilling to the reckless plundering and exploitation of fresh water, fertile soil, timber, marine life, and innumerable other resources across the globe—the Extraction Project will culminate in a constellation of nearly fifty overlapping exhibitions, performances, installations, site-specific work, land art, street art, publications, poetry readings, and cross-media events throughout 2021 and beyond.
