FUN & FUNDRAISER FOR A NEW COMMUNITY SPACE

LAUNCHPAD Pencil Party (...And Silent Auction...)

Do you ever wish there were more places for grassroots social gatherings? Where people can meet to share random ideas, hard goods, fun services, delicious food, and hearty laughter? Yeah, us too! So we'd like to create one...

LaunchPad: A future homebase for creative minds and curious spirits; a mixed use community space in New York City where people can rally together, trigger ideas, launch projects, and have tons of fun.

read more here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/LaunchPad/launchpad

"What's the pencil party?", you ask. Well it goes a little like this - you show up and get a pencil. Then you step into the future home of LaunchPad, where all the walls are white. After that it's just some simple math... Your creativity + pencils + white walls * (music + drinks) = pencil party. Fun, right?

The night will also include a silent auction with amazing items donated by various artists and crafters. All winning bids go directly toward the LaunchPad project. And there's a fun twist: the artists/crafters who attract the 3 highest bids in the auction will receive their own LaunchPad exhibit in the near future. The exhibit will include an opening party and a one month display of work.

So come join us! And please spread the word.

Saturday, March 6 at 7pm
721 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

Pencil it in. ;-) The party won't stop until the last person walks out the door.

We can't wait to see you there!

P.S. We're currently accepting submissions for the auction. Anyone who is interested in donating a piece of work should please contact us quickly: art@BrooklynLaunchPad.org
