“The Twenty Four Hour Show was conceived out of the observation that all of us spend our entire waking life working. Whether it’s the 9-5er or helping our friends produce whatever wild plan they have up their sleeves, we rarely have the time or energy left to do our own work. Workaholics by trade, each of us has at least two jobs, multiple collaborations, a handful of relationships, and the list goes on and on…I asked the question, what if we all just took a 24 hour period and devoted it strictly to our own work? The 24Hour Show was the answer to my question.We all find ourselves caught in that cultural drive of production, overproduction, exhaustion, mixed in with dashes of perfectionism, egotism, and a general need to overachieve. It’s what we do with it that makes it important. Welcome to the Twenty Four Hour Show. Enjoy the ride.”- Shawn Tamaribuchi

With a motel as muse, studio and gallery, the 3nd annual Twenty Four Hour Show promises to be an intensive incubator for the emergence of new ideas and new work. As a group of workaholics, community leaders, activists, and of course artists, the women of the Twenty Four Hour Show are constantly at odds with the clock. The show provides them with opportunity and challenge as they literally put everything aside for the sake of art.

These 8 professional Asian American women artists span the mediums of dance, performance, written & spoken word, photography and multi-media. Join them as new work develops from self imposed sleep-deprived mayhem with a reception starting at 8pm going to 10pm.
