Original Event Description:
_Let’s create an enormous, temporary Sand artwork together at the beach. Saturday, June 20, 2026 | 9am to 11am | $2 Donation Requested This is an opportunity to join artist Andres Amador in creating a massive geometric community art piece in the sands of Ocean Beach, and then watch the piece get washed away by the tide. A fun afternoon of creativity and art on the beach as we create a beautiful artwork on the sand! No experience necessary – just bring your enthusiasm and creativity. I will provide the tools you need to make our masterpiece. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just looking to try something new, this event is accessible to everyone. Tell your friends, bring your family, and come enjoy a spell at the beach creating monumental art together. This event it a light-duty, drop-in style experience. There will be a short orientation, but no instruction. If you would like to have a deeper experience, I lead beach art workshops for smaller groups. A note on the ticket: I am asking that you donate $2 per ticket. I am doing this as a donation rather than a ticket price becuase Eventbrite would chare $1.97 for a $2 ticket but only $0.06 for a $2 donation. I am charging because I have had too many no-shows. My recent event had so many registered that I purchased insurance just in case, which became unwarranted as fewer than a third actually showed up. This nominal fee is small enough that there is no real pressure to come, but high enough that if every person did it I would have my effort significantly covered. As a bonus, each $1 donated is redeemable for merchandise at the beach. Here’s where the $ goes: travel from where I live in the Sierras, expenses (I stay with family while in the city so I avoid lodging expense), acquiring and fixing tools (some are broken every event), time in marketing the event so that there is a critical mass that makes the artwork and experience special, and web hosting (web-res images from the event are available for free download). Thank you for your understanding._
