One of our best Movember events so far has been the Movember Art Walk! Our main event was the Movember Art Show at The Art Center II at 229 Hogan Street where there was great art, free beer courtesy of Intuition Ale Works and music by Dennis Eusebio. The show consisted of about 26 artists that participated with about 34 pieces altogether! Many thanks to all of the artists, Dennis Eusebio, Intuition Ale and all of the helpers we had to help run the show.

We had our Movember Info Booth & Craft Table in Hemming Plaza where Art Walk patrons were able to make their own mustaches and learn a little about what Movember is all about.

The sweet tooths could enjoy the Movember Bake Sale outside of Snyder Church courtesy of master bakers The Sugar Tryst and Bee Ewe Eye.

Art Walk patrons could also buy some mustache-themed art from the AIGA Atomic Sketch event in the Old Library.

We even had a street team to spread the word on all the awesome stuff going on put together by the Jacksonville Rollergirls passing out Movember materials & mustaches. Many thanks to all who participated, The Art Center for lending us the space and Downtown Vision for helping us put this whole thing together. You can check out all the photos from the event here.

If you didn’t have a chance to catch Movember Jax founder Sean Collins on Good Morning Jacksonville or First Coast Connect this morning – the November Art Walk downtown tonight from 5 – 9pm is actually the MOvember Art Walk!

ABOUT MOVEMBER
Mo, slang for moustache in Australia, and November come together each year to form Movember, a worldwide charity working to change the face of men’s health — literally. The rules are simple, Mo Bros start Movember 1st clean-shaven and grow a moustache for 30 days. The stache becomes the “pink ribbon” for men’s cancers and the way by which awareness and funds are raised. Mo Sistas can also collect donations online in support of their Mo Bros. Over $42 million was raised last year — US donations benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

We’ve got a lot things planned for this Movember that we’re pretty excited about. I’ll post all of the information for that later, but first I wanted to let everyone know about our Movember Art Show we have planned for the November “Movember” Art Walk!

The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember. This event challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. So for our Movember Art Show, artists of all disciplines can submit work created in any medium as long as mustaches are the subject matter.

The opening will be held at the November Art Walk on November 3rd from 5pm-9pm at the 229 Hogan Street Studio. Art pieces are due by October 27. I’ll have more information regarding drop-off locations soon.

Sound Awesome? Of course it does. If you have questions, contact Sean Collins at sean@jaxbeard.com or at 904.718.6947.

Full Details:

• Art must have a mustache theme.
• Art is due by October 27, 2010
• *Update* Art can be dropped off at the space after 6:30 pm on Wednesday through Friday as well as during the day over the weekend. If you have any questions, you can call Sean at 904-718-6947.

Oh and also, I know this is late notice, but if you did some work for the Beards & Brushes Facial Hair Art show earlier this month, you can pick up your piece from Bogda Gallery either today or tomorrow. After that, I’ll take everything left home with me and you can either pick up your piece from me or I’ll get it to you. Contact me if you won’t be able to pick up your art from Bogda in the time frame and we’ll get it all figured out.

So without further adieu, here is some beard art that I’ve found on the interwebs.
