Plumatorium Gallery Open House May 4 @12– 2 P.M. by RSVP ripstarrob@gmail.com
We are excited to present Keith McHenry’s work. Keith thru his life’s work, art, literature, and cooking has demonstrated what mutual aid can do simply by organizing and cooperating together. His paintings are as colorful as an average free food celebration presented by Food Not Bomb’s (FNB), an organization he helped to found that is currently serving free food in over 20 countries around the world. The groups mission is to protest and help prevent war, combat poverty, and promote alternative peaceful solutions. Keith and other FNB organizers use consensus facilitation to spread critical thinking, nonviolence, and Anarchist lifestyles to resist fascism and build stronger sustainability in diverse communities throughout the world.

Introducing Artist/Producer Rob Jackson and His Crew
Rob develops art in teams to broaden understanding and bring about growth opportunities for healthy developments thru entertainment. His art expresses power, beauty, and shows vulnerable raw perspectives that offers a chance to experience nature thru imagination. He says, “Exceptional art cuts thru the obvious and reaches the possible”.
Rob’s teams products include songs, fine and commercial art, investigative press on social justice and environmental issues, workforce development and wellness. His art, music, and literature is about documenting problems and offering solutions. Rob stated, “Statistics continue to show massive declines in habitat, wildlife, declines in education and other quality of life issues like equality, while disease, war, and other social threats are on the rise in many places in the world, which must be met with sustainable nonviolent solutions that are abundant. The process of inclusion and lifting each other is helping the quality of life and making a difference.” Rob’s pursuit has attracted hundreds of collaborators from around the world in diverse communities and the list of credits continues to grow. Over 2M audience members have been reached with help from sponsors and supporters.
Rob hires/sponsors artists to build collectives that challenge violence and dispel dominant dehumanization narratives. He said, “Using art to challenge humanity to implement sustainable solutions to problems embraces intelligence and is ultimately in everyone’s best interests.”

Plumatorium Gallery and Noise Label Presents
Art Tour Co-op reaches hundreds of thousands of spectators that love art live and online. Our gallery is on a busy SF street and we have an estimated foot traffic 5K a month. Website visits are upward 150K a year all social media combined. We deliver art, music and literature.
1. What does it take to be in the Art Tour co-op?
Each seat is $200 bucks each year. Some are covered by sponsors.
Being in the coop means you can be engaged in decision making if you show up, and it means you can get repaid part or all of the $200 if you sell art…..or music. A sincere desire to work in teams to reach annual co-op goals is required.

2. What does the co-op member get?
• They can attend free and near free (donation type) events a few times a year.
• Buy one piece of Rob’s Art for 2% the regular price (plus shipping and insurance) per year.
• Free Art (except shipping/insurance) up to $200 if you don’t sell any art that year.
• Free Music (except shipping and material fees)
• Free Passes to Live events
• Once a Year Feature in Gallery 3×4 feet or less (1 Piece) If it sells you get to keep the cash….if it does not sell, we either give it away to an interested co-op member or donate it further….
• You may enter one tiny art piece 5×7 inches for the light box (once a year feature)
• Your work goes up in Plumatorium Social Media ads for 10-15 days.
• A chance to become sponsored and to earn cash in the event the coop registered products have a commercial success inside that year. Please note not all Plumatorium and Noise label programs are associated to Art Tour, which is a specific collective experiment.

3. How does the public experience the Co-op?
We announce shows every month. They consume the art by coming to events, seeing ads, seeing press releases or press articles. They attend live events or visit various websites. A portion of the audience visit points of purchase and buys art.

4. What are the 2024 Goals For Art Tour?
• Grow Co-op from 12 to 25 members with each person having a sponsor if they are interested in learning how to build the sponsors.
• Use 50% funds collected to make new songs with coop members wherein the co-op is written is a member on the project in the event the songs come under commercial demand. If the song blows up we create more seats for members and sponsor all 50 members while hiring some for gig work to strengthen and expand products.
• Use remaining 50% collected thru membership/sponsorships to promote the activities of the co-op to grow attendance and to grow membership and sponsorship to set the stage for 100% expansion in 2025.
