Hello all you COmmunication Arts STudents & Creative types in general!

We're starting to get things rolling for a new year of COAST, and we want to make it a great one. Full of events pertinent to you, and truly involving all of the communicative art departments this year...that includes you, Music/Broadcast/Communication students!

Please be on the lookout here and on campus bulletin boards for posts & posters with more info as more events roll along. For now we already have our first event ready for you to utilize your talents to give back to the local community. But it's coming up quick, tomorrow! Read further for more details:

"Chalk-It-Up," is happening this Saturday, September 18th, from 10am to Noon.
The city of Siloam Springs puts on this event every year. Local kids come for face painting, sidewalk chalk, Pla-Doh, jewelry making and other art activities.

COAST students have helped out 2 years running, and this year we've volunteered again to bring students to help run the different booths, and we would love your help! This is your opportunity to get involved! Anybody (COAST member or not) is welcome to come help.

We will meet at the Flagpoles, Saturday morning before 9:30a. We will leave at 9:30 to travel to the La-Z-Boy Softball Complex in town. Drivers are needed as well, if you have a car and can help shuttle people to the event, please come prepared to drive.

There will be FREE pizza for the volunteers after the event! Check out photos and some of the perks of the event from last year's blog post about it: http://jbucoast.blogspot.com/2009/10/coast-was-there-chalk-it-up.html

Thanks for your help!

"The Crossing" screenings! (Update)

What you've all been waiting for! Many of you couldn't make it, only got to see the last bit, or couldn't get a great view in the standing-room-only, due to the throngs of viewers who showed up to the premiere night.

So we'll be having a few more screenings before the semester is out. Come Monday through Thursday this week, at 8pm in the smaller Theatre room, ART 112, in the Art building.
Come watch it again and bring a friend!

Thanks!
-KWA :)
