HIVE buzzz...
Today JMT Pacific relocated from a desk in the Comb to our newly constructed private offices, making them official. These additions are ideal for creatives who require more personal quarters to conduct business at theHIVE. Congrats on the move guys!
This Thursday, theHIVE will be hosting AIGA’s NOGO-LOGO event where graphic designers submit logos that were presented to clients and were not selected. The event is open to the public so come sip a cocktail and check out the creative products from San Diego’s design community. The winner will recieve $100 and bragging rights.We’ll see you there.
If you’ve ever wished technology would read your mind, programmer DAN GILKERSON is getting a step or two closer. He’s currently working on a jukebox project ( aka the Beebox) for fellow creatives of the HIVE Collective that will be tailored to our musical tastes. Software will be crafted for our workspace with the following capabilities:
-Detects who’s at theHIVE to play their favorite beats
-Voting system to skip past songs
-Stream music directly from personal workspace.
Dan believes in evolving software to continually meet needs that are discovered. And we believe it’s going to be amazing.
theHIVE’s unofficial mascot and leading PdogP programmer, THOR made it to JELLY today for a bit of networking and working the net. theHIVE hosts San Diego’s JELLY every other Friday-the next one will be held on October 2nd- come stop in.
theHIVE’s own DENISE COLESTOCK, independent interior designer is making Project FiND happen by working with Rebuild-the San Diego Chapter of Architects for Humanity. This competition challenges designers and artists from all fields to submit a proposal for a project that raises awareness of sustainability, efficiency and social responsibility. Denise is pushing for projects that address community and environmental needs. We’re loving the fusion of these concepts and have already sparked the imaginations of a few HIVE creatives.
In August, HOLIDAY MATINEE teamed up with TOMS Shoes for their 10-year anniversary Cause for Drinks benefit. They asked 11 San Diego artists to decorate a pair of TOMS-and this is what they got back. Dave Brown of HM brought the installation to theHIVE for our Pollinate section, noting that it “exemplifies the spirit of doing good and having fun.” We think they’re just plain awesome-come check them out.
HIVE collective HOLIDAY MATINEE, creative consulting, is co-hosting a Ping Pong Social with non-profit Sezio @ the Pearl Hotel on September 19th. Roll solo or grab a partner for doubles to show off your backhand. We’re rooting for our own- Dave Brown of HM!
The Yard just got way more interesting. We adopted Morgan Blair‘s “Rainbow Road” and couldn’t be happier to have the opportunity to put it up publicly here at the HIVE. Morgan was the first participant in SEZIO’s Artist Exchange Program. SEZIO brought her all the way here from the Brooklyn, NY to live and create in San Diego for one week. Morgan is a recent grad from RISD and an awesome illustrator / fine artist. She created “Rainbow Road” during the week she stayed at the Luce Loft here in East Village. Feel free to stop in and check out the piece and keep an eye on SEZIO for more Artist Exchanges coming soon.
