Representing artists all over the world, I am Director of the fattest art collective in d'land, Pacific Art Collective which continues to uprise through love and hustle. Where ya'll at, holla. Check out the next supa tight show. Late.
"Pacific Art Collective is especially intriguing. In addition to crafting one of the most sophisticated local public stages for individual informal artists through the idioms of urban, hip, and alternative aesthetics, PAC also makes the audiences participation interactive and, hence, informally and spontaneously creative in its own right. The very idea that the informal arts can generate specifically animated and participatory audiencesnot because the audiences get up and play the instruments necessarily, but because they are charged through the format of the event with an explicit role as suppliers of energy for the artists, and are therefore considered co-creators opens up a number of promising possibilities for reinvigorating arts communities."
An excerpt from the book: Cultural Initiatives Silicon Valley - THERES NOTHING INFORMAL ABOUT IT: Participatory Arts Within The Cultural Ecology Of Silicon Valley - by Maribel Alvarez, Ph.D. with research assistance by Lisa van Diggelen [ read the entire social study ]
"...when it comes to eras like Paris in the 1920s, Berlin in the 1930s and Greenwich Village in the 1940s, you saw scenarios where composers boozed it up with painters, dancers traded ideas with poets and everyone was familiar with each other's work. Sadly, those types of interdisciplinary creative exchanges don't really exist anymore. The Pacific Art Collective is accomplishing the equivalent in underground urban youth circles; in fact they've even taken it on the road to promote Silicon Valley, but you don't see it in the art-music circles at all..."

PAC SESSION's are cultural, multi-media, exposure event's that function as an outreach for West Coast and National artists, venues and burgeoning art districts. Musicians, Visual and Performing Artists perform and enlighten our communities, gaining vital exposure necessary towards their success.
