Artists Wanted: Fall Youth Rock Festival!

June 12th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Hello everyone, hope everyone’s Summer is treating them well!

The Guam Musicians Initiative will be holding a youth rock music festival in mid to late August at Ypao Beach.

We’ll be having about 10-15 bands performing throughout the day! The lineup of bands is full of variety! Pop, punk, rock, metal, punk, indie, progressive, and alternative bands made up of youth ages 15-23.

We are hoping to get a variety of other artists to exhibit and sell their art and merchandise.
Whether they’re painters, illustrators, graffiti artists, photographers, fashion artists, or artists of any other medium… we’d love to have them to bring out their artwork to this event!

If you know of any artists that you can recommend and that will be interested in displaying their work at this event, please have them contact me at jayton.okada@gmail.com or at the official GMI MySpace page – Myspace.com/guammusiciansinitiative

Thank you!

    sweet, I wanna do some live art. I will try and be on island for the event, if anything. When you get the dates, let me know.
    I have an idea, lets do some collaborative live art. 2 people to a piece of canvass, or wood board, doing some art, and using mix media.

    Joseph: I was thinking of similar idea! We had a similar ‘United Art Piece’ at Reclaim Guahan, I never got to add anything to it since I was on stage doing sound all day long. Hopefully we can get you out to other art events while you’re on island.

    Drea: Thanks for the comment, I’ve got your MySpace profile, so I’ll update you from there!
