EYAO: Los Angeles, CA; EAT YOUR ART OUT was born four years ago when artist, part-time underground curator and skater for the Angel City Derby Girls, Jane Dope, needed to raise funds to support a struggling Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby League. Jane Dope took her passion for skating to her friends and family in LA’s subversive art scene. By February 2008 the idea came to fruition and a cool happing was hatched to raise funds and awareness for community-based Roller Derby leagues. In 2009 the event grew exponentially with more artists jumping on board. By 2010 word spread and EAT YOUR ART OUT was solidified as “must do” event for artists, even having to start turning away donations from artists because of the limited amount of space. Understanding she was a bridge between artist and art enthusiast, Jane Dope reached even further for 2011 to fortify her vision as a show for the most impressive works by relevant artists today, yet still affordable enough to get the art in the hands of the culture that fostered many of these artists from their early stages of their careers.
