AHA MEDIA was pleased to attend the Hot One Inch Action MEDALISTS show at W2 Culture + Media House – 112 West Hastings in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)
THE ONE INCH BUTTON SHOW
Conceived by Jim Hoehnle and Chris Bentzen in 2004, Hot One Inch Action is the original, one-night only show of art, music and social interaction in Vancouver, BC. The original work of fifty different artists is presented on one inch buttons. These one inch buttons are displayed on the gallery wall and the audience is offered the opportunity to buy randomly selected buttons in bags of five for $5. If the bag purchased does not have the desired button, you are invited to trade with the people around you. How bad do you want that button? That’s when the hot action starts.
Hot One Inch Action MEDALISTS
Saturday February 6, 2010 · doors @ 8pm
W2 Culture + Media House – 112 W Hastings Vancouver
Ever wonder what doesn’t make it into the show? We have a difficult time choosing buttons to be in Hot One Inch Action and with 100-150 submissions each year, there’s a lot of great art that doesn’t make the cut. So, to kick off 2010, we’ve chosen 50 buttons not in the 2004-2009 shows to be MEDALISTS. Bags of 5 random buttons will be available for $5. Get a button you don’t want? Trade with the people around you! RSVP on Facebook.
The MEDALISTS for 2010: Alan Ashton, Andrea Zariwny, Barb Clayden, Brent Clowater, Carl Oxley III, Carmen Wagner, Chandra V. Halko, Christopher Ellis, Christopher Williams, Colin McFarland, Daisy Chia, Dalia Vukmirovich, Darcy Paterson, David Fleming-Saraceno, David Shame, Ehren Salazar, Eileen Soo, Erica-May Chan, Erin Cooper, Erin Griffin, Erin Watkins, Gord Bruce, Hayley Arlidge, Jackson Smith, Janos Sitar, Jen Crothers, Joanne White, Justin Longoz, Karin Vengshoel, Kate Zisman, Kazuko Kusumoto, Kim Kalanj, Kris Brownlee, Lara Smith, Laura Mcintyre, Leslie Supnet, Malcolm Van Delst, Matt Bowen, Meghan Deutscher, Michelle Chau, Michelle Kuen Suet Fung, Miranda Pang, Neal Michael, Paul Edmondson & Laurie Mark, Phresha, Polly Nomial, Rachael Ashe, Rose Poon, Theresa Wong, Tiffany Monk

DTES CAN (DTES Community Arts Network)
http://www.DTESCAN.wordpress.com
Founded in 2003, DTES Community Arts Network brings together artists, residents, community agencies, and arts organizations to cultivate a vibrant and viable arts scene in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.
Few neighbourhoods make as much noise as Vancouvers Downtown Eastside (DTES). Although much of the attention it attracts focuses on drug addiction, mental health, and poverty, it is also one of the most creatively-inclined areas of the city, as seen in its street art, numerous art galleries, scores of artists, demonstrations, and even the unruly culture animating its streets and alleyways. While other neighbourhoods struggle to define themselves in a rapidly changing city, the DTES boasts a community that knows who it is and isnt afraid to express it. DTES Community Arts Network strives to channel this creative power to make positive change in the neighbourhood by cultivating a viable and vibrant community arts sector.
DTES Community Arts Network emerged out of the 2003 celebrations commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Carnegie Centre and the historic role of the DTES as the Heart of the City. It is a network of individuals and community and professional arts organizations working through the arts to contribute to the economic, social, and cultural renewal of the DTES. As intense redevelopment transforms the area, DTES CAN aims to strengthen the DTES as a healthy, artistically vibrant, and culturally rich community where people with predominantly low incomes and from diverse lifestyles, abilities, and financial means feel at home.
DTES CAN is committed to providing opportunities for Downtown Eastside residents to experience the arts as aspiring and practicing artists, audience members, as a means of personal and collective expression, and to advocate on issues affecting the community. Using a cluster organizational model to bring artists and residents together, DTES CAN encourages participation, builds capacity, and supports, renews, and builds arts and related projects in the community to foster cultural redevelopment.
