Hey everyone---
Jason (JMo) is super busy these days, but he asked me to post this for him. It's an awesome cause & my wife & I will be doing our best to attend! Even if you don't live in/around Portland, please keep bumping this thread & do your best to help him spread the word!----Matt
Hello Portland area art/music fans!
I have a really awesome event that I’m excited to finally be able to share with all of you!
This initiative, started over a year ago, is just now coming to fruition. A few us parents at James John were inspired by Sam Leach, third grade teacher, and his push for creative technology in the classroom, that we wanted to help the entire school in a cool way. My good friends Ben Fogarty (who also has a child in Sam’s class this year) and Zeke Howard, well connected in the creative industry, decided to curate this fundraising event. All proceeds raised will be doubled by Apple (plus some) and presented to the school. I included details below and attached the flyer, with some sample works. It’s Friday May 24th from 6-10pm, at The Cleaners - Ace Hotel, in downtown Portland!
Stop by for a beer, listen to some great music, and maybe even bid on some cool art!
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. <!-- e --><a href="mailto:jason.a.moos@gmail.com">jason.a.moos@gmail.com</a><!-- e -->

The Brigade & Deweywood Present
A Charity Art Auction for James John Elementary School
Curated by Patrick Pendergast
Portland design studio’s The Brigade & Deweywood need your help to bring interactive learning to one of Portland Oregon's most under served elementary schools. We are asking artists to pay homage to a classic album that inspired them. We are providing a 12x12 piece of bamboo for the work unless you prefer another format. The art will be displayed in Deweywood’s hand crafted bamboo& leather record frames at a silent auction in Portland.
About the Event:
The opening will take place Friday May 24, 2013 and feature live music from local musicians along, with a raffle drinks and other awesomeness to help us reach our goal.
About the charity:
The funds raised will be used to put iPads in the classrooms of James John Elementary School in St Johns. The use of iPads in the classroom gives educators another tool to use, in a multitude of ways. Budget cuts have left James John without a music and art program. Teachers are searching for new and innovative ways to bring the arts into the classroom, and the iPad offers a unique platform.Sam Leach, a third grade teacher at James John, asked the question, "what does learning sound like?" Sam, like many other teachers at James John is a musician, and uses the iPad to showcase famous artists and play music for his class. Sam adds that the iPad has proven to enhance students learning experiences, from skill development with real time feedback, to deepening conceptual understanding all in a intuitive interface that sparks the imagination.

About The Brigade:
The Brigade is a design studio based in Portland Oregon founded by partners with a shared passion for user centered design, music and technology. We are focused on building apps and awesome interactive experiences for leading brands including Spotify, Mindjet & Intel.
About Deweywood:
Deweywood is the collaborative work of Trent Waneka and Evan Parker. We believe function is the purpose for creation, and design is the style that sets the creators apart. We seek quality and beauty in this world and we hope to give some back in our work. With a strong connection to the quality and beauty of our planet we focus on using responsible materials and products as we go along.
There are many reasons for vinyl’s resilience over the years. One is the album artwork itself. In the best cases, the artwork is the musician’s final touch on what they have just poured their entire life into. These efforts don’t always get their due representation digitally or in a flat compact disc format. With vinyl; matte finishes, extensive gatefolds, photography, lyrics, linear notes, posters and other printed creativity give the fans a more authentic experience. Deweywood was founded to be the best option to display your favorite albums and we are just getting started.

Art, music, and beer... Right up my alley.
Yes, I've been pretty slammed this past 2 months, after starting the new job.
So, this event is going to be awesome! Some great art by a ton of awesome artists! All are different takes on classic album covers. Same 12 x 12 size and put into a great frame.
Even if you don't want to bid on art, come out and say, hello!
And Matt, way to go my friend!! Way to assist a PJ Brother!!
Cheers and be well,
BS
