Masters on Main Street is hosting a dynamic art project linking Occupy Wall Street and the world, via the small town of Catskill, NY. Main Street's vacant storefronts come alive with over 50 visual art and design exhibits, performances, workshops and panel discussions from the opening date on March 17 through May 31st.

Wall Street to Main Street is a collaborative presentation working with individual artists, curators and organizers from the Occupy Wall Street Arts and Culture Working Group. The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement has focused its energy on justice for the 99%. Wall Street to Main Street, a project facilitated by Occupy With Art, offers a platform for creative expression and dialogue focusing attention on a struggling community through a ten-week festival of experiences designed to engage, educate and inspire.

Here's some OWS street theatre
of the absurd to start off the New Year,
which I trust will be an excellent one
for you.

Feliz Año Nuevo

Occupy: New Year's Revolution 2012!

Paul Talbot [OwA Occupeyes] V-blogs the events of New Year's Eve at Liberty Square HERE.

New Years eve in Zuccotti Park (turned out) to be a pretty amazing evening filled with suspense, drama and the NYPD doing what the NYPD does best: over-control everything and create mass hysteria. #Occupy2012 came in with a blast!

Check out the amazing projections ringing in 2012!

Occupy Wall St - The Revolution Is Love

A taste of the upcoming feature documentary, Occupy Love. This is a community funded film. Please support our crowd funding campaign at http://www.indiegogo.com/Occupy-Love

#WhileWeWatch OWS documentary film premiering January 11th 2012

#WhileWeWatch is the gripping portrait of the #OccupyWallSt media revolution. Citizens came together at Zuccotti Park with energy, intelligence and guts to impassion their message, "We are the 99%."

#WhileWeWatch discovers the #OWS media team who had no fear of a critical city government, big corporations, hostile police, or a lagging main stream media to tell their story.
 
Through rain, snow, grueling days, sleeping on concrete; they pumped out exhilarating ideas to the world. Fueled with little money, they relied on the power of Twitter, texting, Wi-Fi, posters, Tumblr, live streams, YouTube, Facebook, dramatic marches, drumbeats and chants.
 
We witness a new dawn with the power of social media.

Please join the Brooklyn Rail and UnionDocs for a collaborative (yet structured) event about the feature documentary in-progress: 99% - The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film.  The event will consist of a screening of material followed by a moderated Q&A with both NYC-based participating filmmakers and contributors across the U.S. via Skype about the opportunities and challenges in making a collaborative documentary about a current event.  It will then be opened to questions from the audience followed by an informal reception. Space is limited so please arrive promptly.

The Rail's Williams Cole will introduce and the Q&A will be moderated by Christopher Campbell, film critic for the Documentary Channel, IndieWIRE, and Movies.com, where he writes the bi-weekly Doc Talk column.

99% - The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film is a feature documentary film spearheaded by over 50 independent filmmakers, photographers, and videographers across the country. The end product will be a compelling, cinematic, resonant, and honest portrait of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
